Interesting article - Harry the trauma exhibitionist.

Glorianny

I suspect many will still find his acknowledgement valuable. Perhaps not if you are of the "just suck it up and get on with things" persuasion, but many of the people he is speaking to will have had their own battles with trauma and survival, and recognising that there is an alternative, that you don't have to do the traditional stiff upper lip, even if your family don't support you, will be meaningful for them. Maybe Harry knows his audience better than most do.

Yes Glorianny, There was another article today - one of the people who worked on the documentary series saying that Harry was treated the same as any other Veteran, and that his sharing his experience of his trauma was all part of bonding between the Vets.

I watched the entire series and it was very good. Must admit I started to watch it because it’s associated with Harry, but it was the Veterans and their stories that kept me watching.

Also, the documentarians are Oscar winners. It’s very high quality documentary.

A fairer and truer style of reporting by the press would benefit not just Harry, but many other people.
It isn’t going to happen.

The press know three things
- What they are told . . .
- What they can dig out . . .
- How they can print it to get the biggest audience, which may not reflect what the person giving the interview intended.

His courting publicity about his perception of the terrible wrongs he has suffered does not help his cause.
Putting his memories (which may vary) and accusations, and facts (that have proven to be at best inaccurate and at worst outright untruths), into print has made it difficult for any sort of trust between him and his family in the UK.

@Mollygo. It was in response to Paul McCartney being married three times and talking about drugs so not a paragon of virtue.

He’s loopy, he is insulting to the armed forces he should be helping.
Very sad about his mother, but it happens to loads of children, that do not have his support system, it’s the same feeling, however much money you have, your mom is dead. You can’t act the victim for ever, we all have tragedy and losses and have to deal with them, what makes him the centre if the universe.

I'm in two minds about Harry, not that it affects my life one little bit!
Whilst I fully support Harry's quest for a fairer and truer style of reporting by the press, and whilst I admire his commitment to the Invictus Games, he seems hell-bent on defining himself through his whingeing and whining.
I don’t understand his belief that the terrible wrongs caused by his family can magically be righted. He is delusional and bitter, and if he carries that way of thinking and behaving to the grave, then what a waste of a life.

@Millygo.
I'm not a Christian

So why drag religion into it.
Nobody claimed to be speaking from a Christian standpoint.

Freya5, I get what you’re saying 👏🏻👏🏻

Harry is obsessed with himself a walking ego.
He should have had my childhood, then he really would have something to whine about.

H is opening only about himself and what he experienced. As my DS in L, experienced two tours in Afghanistan, who on entering the gym saw H ,good morning sir, no reply. My family suffered along with him, as did all the country for their loved ones and brave men and women, of whom they knew only from the press they had died or were injured, some appallingly so. Headley Court, my daughters friend working with these seriously injured personnel, some with there whole lives ahead of them, the injuries they suffered, terrible. So no, I have no time for H, pushing his own agenda as usual. Who makes money out of suffering.

A lot of people throwing stones at Harry on this thread so I'm guessing not many Christians.

I don’t think anyone on here has claimed to be perfect. Presumably, since you are throwing stones at other posters, you aren’t Christian. John 8:7

Nitpicking here, but King Charles is Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Head of the Church is officially Jesus Christ.

I think he is severely depressed, and paranoid. He needs proper counselling, someone who will help him come to terms with the past and put it behind him. The question is, is that what he wants or does he actually enjoy wallowing in self-pity?
I suggest the media and the public completely ignore him for a while, because we are feeding his obsessions.

BlueBelle

silverlining I so agree with your post childhood trauma lasts a lifetime and all the unnecessary vitriol thrown at this young couple is beyond my belief
Why ?
If you don’t like them move on I m no fan of the royal family but blimey it’s really nasty to keep hearing it over and over

This

I apologise I only read the first couple of pages. Im with BlueBelle and Silverling. Childhood trauma is damaging, Harry’s age and personality left him particularly vulnerable. The vitriol thrown at him and his wife says much more about those making unkind dismissive comments, than it does about H and M

A lot of people throwing stones at Harry on this thread so I'm guessing not many Christians.

Atthe heart of Christianity is hating the sin but loving the sinner. 'Let which of you is without sin cast the first stone'

Perhaps some of the people on here could do with a short course on basic Christianity to understand the core of its beliefs

I don't think any religion is squeaky clean. It was in response to a comment about Paul McCartney not being squeaky clean because he's been married 3 times.

@callistemom21. Which posts are you referring to?

Charles is as has been said head of the C of E, the Anglican Church. I think most of us know quite well that this Church was created in the back of adultery, divorce, murder and remarriage. George 1st had been divorced for some years before his coronation in 1714. Edward V11th even asked certain mistresses to his coronation! He became an extremely popular king despite his colourful love life. So to comment disapprovingly on Charles being head of the Church, well this Church itself is not squeaky clean!!

Harry is surely a gift from the gods for republicans

As I have already said all this focus on one short speech in a 5 part documentary.It isn't Harry who has the problem and is obsessed.
The quasi-religious status of the RF always puzzles me. They have been seriously dysfunctional for generations. But Harry is the one with the problem!!!

@callistemom21 what a nasty comment. He would still be married to his first wife Linda if she hadn't died of breast cancer. Has he ever claimed to be a paragon of virtue unlike Charles who is the Head of a Church.

Oh, here we go.

I remember your posts from previous riyal threads, nasty would describe your posts.

Diana caused Harry much harm

Irritated though I am with Harry, I feel sympathy for a man who faces such sheer nastiness as the front page of the Daily Express recently; digging up the allegations that Charles was 'disappointed that Harry wasn't a daughter'. Why this vile publication thought this necessary or in 'the public interest' is beyond me. Combine this, and some people's inability to let go of Saint Diana,is it any wonder he has problems?

By the time my closest male friend was 38 he had lost a child to drowning and his wife to cancer.
He found love again in later life and she died of cancer.
No one would ever ever know. He has the most wonderful happy outlook on life.

You'd think he was the onlyone who had ever lost a parent!!!!
