Interesting article - Harry the trauma exhibitionist.

I do other stuff including read sources outside Gransnet
Good I should hope so!
No disrespect to GNHQ but GN is a discussion forum - not a news information site

Thanks WR but I think I’ll stick to The Times.

That's fine. I just thought I'd answer your question

Post Natal Psychosis cannot be compared with grief

The human mind is incredibly complex and two people can experience the same thing but come out of it differently.

The most extreme example was Queen Victoria, 40 years mourning.

^I've heard of 'Help for Heroes'^

😁

Well, that's a start, perhaps you need to find out more about what help is available for ex-service personnel before you take what Harry says about lack of help as gospel.

I will say that The Invictus Games, founded on the concept of The Warrior Games, is a wonderful idea and proves that there is so much that can be achieved after injury and trauma to servicemen and women and to prove that their injuries do not define who they are.

There is a lesson there - not letting any traumas you endured define who you are.

I dont take anyone's word for gospel
I could research what help is available but it doesn't answer my question about whether there enough. I see a lot of stuff about former service personnel sleeping rough, is that true.
Does talking about the traumas you've endured define you?

Thanks WR but I think I’ll stick to The Times.

No they can't. Perhaps equally painful, but totally different.

What is Byline Times? I don’t know what might be ‘all over social media’ because the only SM I’m on is GN.

You made a snarky remark about me having limited interests the other day because I'm not in any other Gransnet threads. I do other stuff including read sources outside Gransnet.

It's 'cos of your name, innit

I told you I went to your club once, it was full of sailors 😂

Yep, you can take the girl out of the Eastend, but you can't take the Eastend out of the girl...😳

I only read the Sun and can barely use joined up handwriting 😷😬

God only knows how I had a good career...must have been bluff and bluster on my part lol 😉

So many why’s?
Why is this thread been started about him ?

But this is easy to answer and I cannot understand how you can still be oblivious of OP’s intention. (But there’s none so blind….)
Read the words. OP invites comments on an article to which she has linked, regarding Harry’s contribution to The Heart of Invictus series.
Have you watched it?
I’ve only seen the first 2 parts and was massively impressed by the courage and resilience of those wounded and disabled - whether paraplegics, tetraplegics, quadriplegics or the mentally scarred and their families who have faced enormous trauma.
Harry did himself no favours by saying “nobody helped him” - although he has elsewhere stated how his brother was indeed supportive and there for him, and by whingeing that nobody did anything for the returning serviceman and women.
Blatantly untrue- has he, (have you) , forgotten the charity Help for Heroes? Or the massive publicity in the media at the time?
His plaintive whingeing did not sit well with true heroism and he did them a grave injustice.
Sadly Harry (like Meghan about other “inventions” such as the “ wedding in the garden” ) showed that he does not let the facts get in the way of a good story.

I've read the article and it comes across as.very.dismissive of PTSD and other mental health issues. The author seems to either really dislike Harry or looking for publicity (which I don't have a problem with as everyone has to advertise) and this article would be picked up by MSM and bring the author to the attention o GB News and the Daily Mail Dec and therefore employment

As you are with the article, can you maybe help me with.

Is there a time limit of mental health conditions?
Do you think that the people who were interested in this documentary would they necessarily have watched o so other documentaries and interviews where Harry has talked about his mental health and it might be beneficial for them?
When you said he made it all about him, how much time did he take up (not had time to watch it).?
Has reclaimed to be a hero,did he say that in the documentary?
I've heard of 'Help for Heroes'. Do you think as a charity they have enough resources to provide care for all the armed forces?
You say he changed his story about getting support. Do you think that when you are in the middle health crisis that you rationally remember everything that happened? My friend's sister in law suffered post natal psychosis, she thought her Newborn was trying to kill her.

Reminds me of those statues of saints said to bleed at certain times of year to the delight of the pious.

Depends on which newspaper you read DL. The ones I read certainly don’t bury proper news under an avalanche of royal fluff/drivel or showbiz fluff/drivel. Nor indeed anything much about the royals except perhaps a nice photo, and nothing at all about showbiz people unless they’re involved in a high profile court case which might be briefly reported. Perhaps you need to read something a bit more highbrow.

Yep, that might be the way, going forwards lol 😉

And as I am very ladylike, I don't know, or wish to know, what 'fill yer boots' means.

Anniebach

Never heard of him ,perhaps WellRose will share her knowledge of him , does he write books ?

I know if him because Byline Times and they've done a huge piece of investigative piece into criminal allegations against him. He worked for Murdoch at The Sun and he now works at GB News and he was working at The Mail I think they've dropped him due to the allegations. I don't watch GB news but it's all over social media that he does nothing but slate H&M.

Life would be very dull if we were only interested in the people we did know.

I'm just curious as to why some people are so interested in people they don't know

Some people are interested in pop stars or film stars, sports people etc.

Some people follow "influencers" on social media.

Yes, it's weird! It's human nature.

Suggesting anyone might wish to ‘fill their boots lol’ over H’s visit to his grandmother’s resting place on the anniversary of her death is rather distasteful,

Why does he have such a need to lie

I just don't get why people would be interested in a journalists opinion on a royal they don't know, and will never know, or think that journalists have actually heard any of these so called conversations/arguments .

But it is all right for you to be very interested?

I'm just curious as to why some people are so interested in people they don't know.

But, if it makes people happy, then go for it. 👍🍾

Meanwhile, I'm sure some people can pick the bones out of why Harry decided to visit St George's Chapel today.

Fill yer boots lol

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-12495969/Prince-Harry-visit-Windsor-Kate-William-Wales-King-Charles-Queens-death.html

Ha ha, already beaten you to it DiamondLily! I am actually very interested in St. George's Chapel because DH is a visiting chorister there, and I usually accompany him there. Sometimes things in the news catch your eye for a variety of reasons, some high-brow, some mundane, some important, some boring. We can all multi task. No reason to pick the bones.
Also, I'd rather not fill my boots, I might sink the ferry!

No, I agree we can all multi task. What I object to is tame media burying proper news, that affects us all, under an avalanche of royal fluff/drivel and showbiz fluff/drivel.

I think, in a newspaper, news should take priority. I think media do orchestrate the news agenda.

That's all, but as I said, whatever keeps people happy. 🙂

Well said, Foxygloves

It is blantantly untrue. Help for Heroes was set up for service personnel recovering from injury and trauma caused by their service in the Forces. People donated generously and Help for Heroes also donated funds to other, smaller charities. The Royal British Legion has taken over some of the work H for H used to carry out.
With all the publicity that charity received , we must not forget other charities, notably the Royal British Legion, begun in 1921, some of whose steadfast fund raisers and Poppy Appeal volunteers are now in their 80s and 90s! There are, of course, other longstanding charities dedicated to helping ex-service personnel such as SSAFA which was started in 1885. They continue to be there for help and support.

To disregard all these charities by saying there is no help available for ex-service personnel is very upsetting for all those dedicated and hardworking volunteers.

Does Harry not remember how people lined the streets of Wootton Bassett (now Royal Wootton Bassett) to receive home and honour those soldiers lost in battles?

Thank you
