well, here it is, Harry interview itv 9pm

I do know about it. I was scapegoated.

Hopefully Prince Andrew! (if they need to use anyone)

Why? We aren't scapegoating . We are suggesting help. There is a difference between being concerned and discussing MH help and scapegoating someone.

At no point have I blamed H for the wrong doings of others (that would count as scapegoating) but I have discussed things he has done, which are factual and therefore not scapegoating.

The scapegoat child is nothing to do with your actions it is a common phenomena in the dysfunctional family. Basically one child is made the focus of all that is wrong in the family, they are the person who needs treatment, they are at fault. The interesting thing is that if the scapegoat leaves the family or is removed another child takes on the role. Arguably the RF have been scapegoating members for a long time. Harry has removed himself, so who will they use next?

Louis will be fine. He has loving parents and sensible, hands on Middleton grandparents.

Maria Borallo has been their nanny since George was born. He’s about as secure as any high profile child can be.

I think Harry's biggest problem is that he doesn't have the intellectual capacity to be objective. Difficult, obviously, when you are emotionally invested. But at some point, I think we all realise, in our turmoil, there comes a time when you have to stand back and take stock - and possibly see yourself as others see you.
At the moment, he's too self-absorbed, and if he continues like this, it won't serve him well.

I've no expertise nor qualifications in psychology or mental health, this is purely a 'gut' feeling. The feeling that he should now explore his inner-self and his 'issues' in private, and absorb any advice he's being given without sharing it with the rest of the world,

Every family is dysfunctional in their own way.

'..... the "Scapegoat Child" and the dysfunctional family, wonder about Harry, and if Louis is to be his replacement'.

Unforgiveable to use Harry's problems to attack, again, a four year old child.

It is deliberately unkind, and cruel because he knows W cannot reply. Indeed we have already seen private texts leaked, so I can totally understand no one in his family wanting that to happen again (or giving him any more fodder for any more books)

... and when he doesn't get "any more fodder", he simply makes things up

It certainly seems that way!

Who among us, in the RF's position (having seen the text between K&M in public) would actually send H a text right now? Even knowing he will probably put it in the public realm?

I can’t understand his willingness to share so much information about his drug use? It has been reported this could affect his next visa application so surely he’s been advised to keep quiet about it?

The story about him using all the laughing gas to calm his nerves during Archie’s birth so there was none left for Meghan is the stuff of sit-coms so either it’s not to be taken seriously or he really does have an addictive personality.

As Elton John would say, ‘He’s not a well bunny!’

He mocked William for losing his hair (which is unkind and body-shaming) but if he checked the back of his own head in the mirror, he would see he is fast catching up.

The old adage is simply true. Money and fame can't buy happiness.
Harry is not happy.

I think he is a danger to himself and others re the Taliban thing.

But hey, he is not my responsibility and for that I'm glad. I'm thankful not to be related to him or therefore at risk from the things he says.

PH has said he was still using cannabis and would go out into the garden to smoke it while Meghan and Archie were asleep. I think his admitted use of a variety of drugs hasn't helped his mental state.

Based on everything I’ve seen printed / discussed in the press, or the snippets of interviews with PH I’ve heard, he doesn’t appear to be a danger to himself or others. So, no reason for him to be subject to a Section under the mental health act.

Like many adults who experienced trauma in childhood, he’s troubled. He acknowledges he’s been anxious, depressed and has a diagnosis of ptsd. He’s paying for therapy and reflecting in an attempt to improve his m.h and quality of life.

I wouldn’t want to be living all of that in the public eye as he’s choosing to do. That choice doesn’t make him schizophrenic or psychotic as ‘some posters’ have suggested.

Without wishing to be uncaring, I’m not really concerned about what Harry has to say, nor about his health, mental or otherwise. He has enough money, staff, and resources to sort himself out. I’m more concerned about those who have mental health issues and haven’t got the resources to sort themselves out, whether it’s through a lack of money or a lack of the ability to access help. Meghan and Harry both have access to all the help, support, and resources they need to live a healthy and happy life without any need to bore us all rigid with tales of brothers fighting, his frostbitten penis, or who had the biggest bedroom.

Bet there will be though, ronib. Hats as well !

Yes. Quietly would be the way to go. The trouble is ,he will find that very hard now that he has opened Pandora’s box. Perhaps that is the way he likes it,though, on the world’s stage ? - God for Harry, England and Saint Charles ?

I have full use of my tv remote and thankfully for me, it’s going to be used. We don’t have to be sucked along.

As for the book, have already suggested that a charity working for children such as Barnados is a better recipient of a donation. Penguin Random House should be ashamed.

Just hope there isn’t a t shirt!

For all we know, PH might be on medication anyway and true it’s not our issue. So best let him and his family sort it out as quietly as they can.

The amateur MH specialists on GN might like to consider the "Scapegoat Child" and the dysfunctional family, wonder about Harry, and if Louis is to be his replacement.

No this amateur just listened, watched and wondered about one person in pain. No need to go into overdrive!

Of course he was reluctant to disclose in the OW interview, he would already know he intended to release a book.
Ouch, that is beginning to sound very calculating and manipulative. And chasing the money again.

Maybe, but what you say makes me feel even more uneasy that he isn't finished yet with all this yet and that there will be more heart break all round.
Perhaps I am just in high alert which is why I fear for him. We all react differently.
