Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex Talks

[@kokopellicrazy]

When Colbert asked Harry how it felt like to outlive his mother, it reminded me of how Colbert's father died in a plane crash at age 53 along with two of Colbert's brothers when Colbert was 10 years old. Colbert is now 58. He was definitely asking that question from a place of having gone through it before himself.

I lost my mother at age 21. She was 48 at the time of her death. When I eventually reached 50, it became crystal clear that I had not expected to live past 48. I was stunned and amazed that I’d “made it”. All those years I’d had the niggling thought in the back of my mind that I would follow in her footsteps and die at 48. 😮 My father died at age 65 two months to the day after his retirement. When I retired at 66 and got past that 2-month-post-retirement mark, I breathed a sigh of relief. Loss and grief really messes with our heads!

[@AniWatX]

I had exactly the same experience. I sympathise with anyone who goes through grief and loss. It is so confusing and there is no right way to deal with it. Best wishes to you.

[@op3129]

my dad and all 7 of his siblings died around 54yrs old - plus or minus 3 months. almost exactly half of my cousins on that side that have reached 54 (23 total so far) have died at age 54 - plus or minus 3 months:12 in total (so far ... another 9 to yet reach 54). all died from "Sudden Death Syndrome" - which is as shitty as it sounds: you just drop over dead. I have two siblings still alive (part of the 11 that survived being 54). I turned 54 two months ago. I don't know what your mom died of at 48 (you don't say) or your dad but ... MAYBE you spent 27 years fretting about nothing real besides "feels." what a waste.

[@SandmanDreams]

Oh wow...😔 It's okay to still grieve regardless of how long or how old you are. These are extremely serious, life threatening circumstances that only you experienced. No-one else has the right to judge you. Your life matters, your trauma is acknowledged. I see you. I feel for your pain. You matter. All souls matter. You are a fighter. *Be* *proud* *of* *that* *every* *day* , and know *you* *are* *not* *alone* in how you feel.

[@Adrian13rams]

As a military spouse, Harry is 100% when it comes to how veterans deal with the question that civilians ask (some with geniune curiousity...some more malice) "have you killed anyone?" Most who have, don't want to talk about it because that normally means they were in the true thicket of war and seen or experienced so much that normal people shouldn't. The ones that brag about it either are lying or should be behind bars for public safety

[@tracychristenson177]

I've heard people say that before. I always figured that anybody who has been in the military during a war has either killed someone or acted as support services for those who have. That is what military is for. It is for killing and combat. They don't spend all day shooting at paper targets for grins and giggles. To ask if military members kill people is one of those questions that answers itself.

[@majebrennan5668]

Our whole family has served. I was the first female in a Green Beret battalion. My husband is a retired Green Beret. I say this for context because I don't think my son when he was in Iraq would have been able to share what was happening to him if I'd not had military experience in a combat unit. I listened and advised when he called me to tell me he'd killed someone and didn't know if God would forgive him. We walked through the details, and I assured him God would forgive him. There are many more stories like that from my son and others. I'm so glad Harry is working with war vets. That means the world to me.

I'm reading a lot of comments here from people who lost their parents at a young age. I cannot imagine that kind of loss. My parents made it to their mid eighties before passing within five weeks of each other. When my sister and I were going through our parents' effects, she asked me what I'd like to have. I chose a bookmark of mother's and a favourite sweater of dad's. Now, when I settle back on the sofa, wearing my dad's sweater and opening my latest book, it is as if both mum and dad are there, quietly enjoying the day with me.

[@luxy8703]

@David Anderson, Cherish those memories and those articles you have to remember your parents by, they are precious. I always find it bazaar when I hear people pass comments assuming it is somehow easier when parents pass away either before you are old enough to remember, or when you are an adult, be it 22 like I was or very much older. At the end of the day they are you pr parents, so I don’t think it matters how old you, it can still be just as devastating can’t it? I think we saw that at the queens funeral, with how wrecked her children looked. There is never a ‘good’ age for you to lose your parent, especially if you are close to them. I had just turned 22 when I lost my dad and it was the January after Princess Dianna died, when my daughter was just 13 days old. He died in a house fire which was all over the news so I understand a little about the press intrusion too. I think that’s why I feel a bit of a connection to Prince Harry and understand him a little. It’s so painful losing a parent, and you don’t get over it, you learn to accept they are never coming back at some stage but I understand a lot of what he has said about the shock. I only cried when I saw my dads coffin. The next time I cried was about 10 years later. It was the 25 anniversary of his death on the 6th and I was just very quiet all day because it still hurts, even now. My daughter who has the sam humour as him said she is sorry. She hasn’t t had the chance to know him as she figured they would get along well, and I started to say you would like a house…. I then stopped as I still can’t say sentences like a house on fire. I still struggle to watch tv shows if they show burnt corpses because my dads death certificate says he died from burns which is unusual as most fires tend to say smoke inhalation. People don’t think either , as I discovered when my dad died, when we were at the funeral home, they asked if we had a favourite outfit we would like him to be dressed in. She clearly hadn’t bothered to see cause of death, we were like he died in a house fire. I don’t think any of his clothes would of survived. Then to make matters worse, she said would you like to see him? We were like are you serious? Did you bother to look up any details about my dad before you walked in here? They had to identify him from his dental records, so no, I don’t think we we want to be left with that as our last memory of our dad Thank you very much! It was crazy, it was bad enough when a neighbour asked what he looked like! At least she had the excuse of old age.

[@natashab5305]

When my brother passed at 24 from a car accident, I was in college. I really thought I lost my mind becuase I could not wrap my mind around him being gone forever, for a very very long time. My mind would tell me other things. Like he went away to my grandparents house, he went on a trip. That he was fine and would come back. Before this interview, I have never heard anyone else speak about "magical thinking" I just thought I was crazy. It is a good feeling to know that I am not the only one with this experience.

As I mourned I suddenly felt a tidal wave of joy engulf me.... and I knew.. right at that moment...that she was reuniting with her son husband siblings parents.. Mums message that day was clear....life is but a blink of an eye.. A necessary passage.. like childhood.. its not home.. ..Mum closed her eyes and when she opened them again she was back home..surrounded by family.. . Love that strong cannot die... it transforms as we transform ... I still talk to her.. wear her cross and .. sense her .. just around the corner......I miss my family terribly but know that one day ..in the blink of an eye... Ill be back home too. In the meanwhile Ill carry their love forward and do my best to share it as its been shared with me.

I was 12 years old when my father committed suicide. My life was fractured from that moment on. I sometimes wonder who I would be if my father had lived. When Harry talked about “magic thinking” surrounding his mother… when he so candidly spoke about pretending she was “in hiding” and would “come and save him and his brother.” Jesus, that really brought me to my knees. I KNOW what that feels like. Growing up, I thought I was the only one who felt that way. As an adult now- I know that I’m not. Sometimes just knowing you’re not alone can make all the difference. I was lucky enough to also “find my purpose.” I have worked in the field of mental health for over a decade. Most importantly, I work with children who have experienced trauma and profound loss. I try to be the person I wish that I had after my father committed suicide. It’s important everyone find their voice and share their stories. There is so much potential for true, meaningful change and growth when we feel strong enough to tell our truth. I know what I shared was long winded; I’m sorry for that. However, I hope someone found something inspiring in it. Even if this speaks to just one person- it’s totally worth it. You are so much stronger than you think…

My dear, you have no idea how your words resonated! I lost both parents in my childhood. I think about them everyday and the sense of loss is great. I don't have lots of memories for I was very young. Yet I remember and feel their parental authentic love. I sympathize with Prince Harry and with everyone who lost their parents at such young age. You're lucky you have a job that helps people who went through same trauma that you went through. It's true, as you give you can heal. Continue being strong ❤️

The comments I'm seeing here made me tear up. I'm 38 and my parents are alive and well but I think often, "what will happen in their passing"? I can't cope with the thought. It was astonishing to hear Harry thought his mother was alive and was going to come back to get him and his brother. And to see comment after comment similar to Harry's about a parent passing but expecting letters and appearances has made me infinitely more knowledgeable about grief, human connections and coping. Reading such accounts has broken my heart into a million pieces and I feel for every child who's lost a parent too soon. Harry also talking about revealing 'that' number for the sake of other veterans was an eye-opener. This interview is a masterclass on the complexity of the human mind. I found it to be so insightful, like a revelation to a new perspective I just didn't think existed. As a viewer and knowledge seeker, I appreciated these uncharted perspectives so much.

[@Chicoandtheman]

I used to send myself into anxiety attacks thinking what it would be like if I lost my parents. Asking myself how I would react? How I would feel? All I can say is, whatever you imagine you think it might be like, multiply that by 20. My mom had a terminal disease and I thought I had come to terms by the time she passed, and I was so wrong. It was nothing like I thought it would be or feel like. It was worse than I could have ever imagined. Then 4 months later I lost my dad. 7 years later I still can’t find any appropriate words in the English language that comes close to describing what that Loss and void feels like. No words

[@bjdefilippo447]

The one piece of advice I can offer is to ask now for stories and answers. Even if they decide to put that information in a place where it's not accessible until after they pass, those stories are part of your family's history. They helped shape the people you are. Toward the end of his life, the grandkids asked dad about his military service, and he was finally ready to share. It helped us understand him so much better, and to breach some gaps. We were lucky enough to have time. When I lost my partner unexpectedly, I realized that I and the kids weren't going to get that chance, and it makes a big difference in finding closure.

[@jaggcalgary.7938]

[@fatenm]

@@bjdefilippo447 I agree with the other poster, it's such great advice. I started to do that in the last 2 years after my dad got Covid. I've emailed myself little blurbs to remember so I can share these with my children. My dad particularly is an inspiration but you'd never know it. I always knew he was an avid sportsman (from tennis to squash to chess) but I never knew more details than that. I learned that in his 20s, he strolled into a chess club in Marlebone, applied for membership and won the next tournament. And how he would randomly ask any people playing badmindon in Hyde Park if he could play too, only to be scoffed at as a 'weirdo' (understandable!) but when he would be given the chance, he'd amaze people with his skills and some would in turn ask to have a go with him or join in for a double game. Such stories are meaningless to others but priceless to me.

I'm in year 3 1/2 with mine. I was kind of broken and my life was almost entirely abuse. I am proactive and I don't even feel halfway done. I was a truck driver driving all across the country and I was tired of burying it anymore and became actually severely angry and was having PTSD days where I couldn't function so I left that industry and haven't worked since and that was the end of 2018. I suffered more sexual abuse where I moved to and after almost ending my life, I felt myself wanting to get help and not do this because I did not do this to me and I wasn't going to help abusers victimize me anymore. I had to go through a little bout of homicidal ideation when my wall was coming down but I could not help that. I had to become solid for myself and going through the process of my own will was hard enough. Having to be someone who didn't let myself be angry was just not going to happen. I settled back into the me I was wanting to be but I still have the ability to scare people lol. I just don't scare myself or cry about reacting that way anymore. I am saying I was upset by being angry when I had every right to be and that made me even more angry because of the control implanted on me for so long. I feel good. I hope you do too.

My mom was 13 at the time. The Red Cross search produced no information whatsover, Auschwitz had no documents. My mom never believed, that her father had died; she imagined, that her father was living somewhere abroad. She would rather blame him for abandoning her than accept his obvious death. This continued until she was 75, when I found a record of my grandfather's death at Mauthausen-Gusen death camp. At that point the Austrian Ministry of Internal Affairs and also the Auschwitz Museum confirmed my grandfather was a prisoner in both camps. Only then was she able to find closure and relief.

Having myself suffered in silence, self-sabotaged, risen from the ashes as a Phoenix… I’ve learned the hard way… A few things I know about business - the bottom line, in general, at the level of such prestige, not many: the stockholders, taxpayers, the bottom of the pyramid…. want to hear the complaining & obsessive details of someone who seemingly has it all. I’m not saying people do not have stuff to complain about… but this is a guy, kid, prince, professional who sought therapy. Most ppl who lose their accolades are “lost” because they have NO ONE to turn to. It’s NOT the fault of the person who reached stardom and popularity - in this case, millionaire Prince Henry (Harold, Harry, H, Haz, etc). At the end of the day, they/we are all still “just ppl.” However, WE put these people on pedestals - and they allowed us to do so. There is ALWAYS a price to pay with ever choice and decision we make. Therefore. Mr. Prince Harry KNOWS this. If I know this, then I know HE knows this. Therefore, I have little sympathy of patience for him anymore. As an empath, I had “wishful thinking” Harry went from one pressure to another. Meaning from the Palace to the pants 👖 of Meghan. However, that is not the case. Harry, who is not so hairy in his scalp (heck, neither am I! As we age, hair thins) is not a phoenix, or anyone whose been so oppressed, meek, abused, illiterate, or lived in poverty that he can state his truth as something SO terrible, he can and SHOULD financially profit from it. I’ve read so many comments. Hundreds, if not thousands. There’s a saying, a penny for your thoughts. This liar, faker, fraud is “R” wording millions!!! Walking away with millions of dollars for his supposed mental and emotional anguishes! That he himself invents! Fans the flames to! Has very little to NO specifics. No evidence. No direct correlation. If anything, he and his wife constantly contradict themselves. Why are you people so blind to their game? They are hustlers. Grifters. Users. Manipulators. Haters. Posers. So much so, his claims go against a monarch of so many generations and centuries… 😂 nah bro. You’re not there! From various reports (e.g., The Independent, author James Patterson, the coining phrase from Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan - apparently relative to ((cousin to) Winston Churchill & Diana Spencer)). These people are bred, groomed. No different than our US government. Look at the historical details of the monarchy. For Harry to step out, as if he’s some type of saint or martyr, why would Harry discuss the most trivial aspects of the background? Circumcisions. Drugs. Loss of virginity. Balding. Paparazzi. Photos. Sounds of clicking of lenses. Life cycles. Protocols. Mottos. What does any of that have to do with racism? Fleeing? Needing 24/7 security? Okay. So. Who doesn’t have those problems? What society, demographics, fraternity, or environment have similar types of behavior? What has Harry really said? Or taught any of us something we should know? Did he validate us? I hope not. Mostly because mental health is about empowerment in validating oneself. NOT through blame, but through accountability - as in one who finds a steady balance. Which can take years to achieve. One doesn’t confuse guilt, arrogance, selfishness, insecurities, distress tolerances, emotional regulations, mindfulness, coping skills, and other cognitive behavioral issues that have to do with blame or martyrdom as a hallway pass. Or a fast track to solving lifes problems, as if the Harkles are suddenly the saviors of the day. Getting past the confusions Harry obviously has - and UNFORTUNATELY had had to deal with… for that, I TRULY sympathize with Harry, but, I can NOT co-sign nor enable the whole idea Harry is trying to sell. In my opinion, there is still a long road that needs to be traveled. I’m not sure whose driving Harry’s bus these days… but I do know: life is a journey. A journey full of lessons for us to either learn, or repeat. Spanish philosopher George Santayana is credited for, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Churchill paraphrased the statement with “those who fail to learn.” So what is it then, Harry is hoping to teach his children? If he himself, after all his supposed therapy, can’t get past the most trivial aspects of life? Let’s face it. No family, relationship, environment, person, situation, job, day, is perfect. What makes Harry so special? When he himself admits to how confused he’s been? All he says is he has a faulty memory. Duh. Who doesn’t? But, maybe that’s a red flag 🚩- as NOT to write a memoir(??) Even after 2 short years while he’s deflecting … fleeing, escaping, from a country he’s basically denounced. Why should we listen to him? Since he’s even sued his own country for what he claims as a lack of security… I mean really. This man is beyond gross and pathetic.

I also lost my father suddenly when Dad was 42, three weeks before my eighth birthday. I also believed my father would return. I thought the person in the coffin was a mannequin or anything other than my father and he would someday come back for me. I would dream about him almost nightly . My father was always very involved with all seven of us...we often travelled in the family station wagon on road trips. I never saw my father upset...he was so full of love for us. I wrote an autobiography when I was in sixth grade and I noticed when I pulled it out recently, I was still speaking of him in the present tense. I finally came to terms with his death sometime in high school but each year around the anniversary of his death, I spend at least three weeks in thought about him and what could have been. I am now 60. By the Grace of God, I have a beautiful family, a caring husband, three daughters, two grandchildren, and enjoyed a successful career. He continues to live through the many memories I have of him and through his descendants. I appreciate Prince Harry sharing his pain because it reminds me I am not alone and this kind of grief is experienced in similar ways regardless of our status in life. Praying for all who have posted about personal loss. It takes courage to do so. Finally, I believe the complexities of the relationships in the RF have been painful for Prince Harry.

I believe Veterans never talk about how many people they have killed in any context. Also why did Megan & Harry accept the Kennedy award for their heroic stand against "structural racism" in the monarchy' if they are now saying the RF isn't racist?

Harry, I applaud you for your comments around 08:30 ish. As a British veteran (who never personally served alongside or met Prince Harry, although I know people who have - as veterans and serving officers), when the leak about his "kill score" came out, I knew it had to have been taken out of context. Say what you like about him, but he's a better officer and human being than that. All the people I knew who had met him didn't believe it, either. At all. Harry started the Invictus Games, he has worked tirelessly with and for veterans, and he is the only living member of the Royal Family who has served in the military in any *REAL* capacity (the only other one to go to a warzone was Andrew, and other Falklands vets do not have good things to say about him... He never served like Harry did). All of the others didn't even complete proper basic training, making the top brass uniforms they like strutting round in a joke... They never earned them... They just got a pass because of who they were (especially his father... Ask any RAF officer about how seriously Cranwell takes Charles and his time spent there...). Harry did everything the rest of us did and made it clear he didn't want special favours. He earned his uniform. He "gets it". Having lost friends to suicide, as a result of PTSD from their service, I thank him for his efforts in reducing the number of brothers and sisters in arms that we lose every year (not to war, but in the battle against PTSD). He's done (& is still doing) far more than our current Commander in Chief... Good on you, Harry.

Which is why I found it ridiculous he was not allowed to wear his uniform at the Queen's funeral. Working royal or not, he went to war and earned it. Absurd rule.

[@t-and-p]

@@crochetingcanuck In fairness, his apparel followed the standard veteran rules (suit and medals - we don't wear uniform as veterans here). However... Because the royal family wore their "honorary" uniforms, it created a very stark contrast that grated many of us. Charles, who never bothered completing Cranwell because he was off cavorting with his girlfriend (now wife), parked on the parade ground (a massively disrespectful no-no), and flew directly over the college building (a court martial offence for anyone else), wore full regalia. Anne, who has never attended any military training whatsoever, wore full regalia. Edward, who struggled through the entire first 4 weeks of Royal Marine training (the intro part...) before he quit to become a tea boy for Andrew Lloyd Webber, wore full regalia. William, who completed a mini course at Sandhurst (the Army officer's college, and not the full officer training by any stretch of the imagination...), then transferred to the RAF (which is unheard of - he's the only "RAF officer" who never went to the RAF officer's college, Cranwell) & "flew search and rescue" for all of a couple of hours a week (yes, that was his "service"), wore full RAF regalia. Harry, who completed the full Sandhurst course, served two tours of Afghanistan and was the only one to not see himself as "above" his colleagues because of the title he was born with (he queued for mess like everyone else, told those on duty to go ahead of him in the queue, so they'd get the chance to eat before the next call, etc)... Was treated as lesser because he's "just" a veteran, not a "working" royal (as if they work...). That contrast made the uniforms & ranks that the rest of us spent blood, sweat, tears, and years earning feel utterly meaningless, because they used ones they'd never earned to denigrate the only person there who had served like the rest of us and earned his rank. It was as if they used the opportunity to crap on his service, which was abhorrent. To date, Harry is the only living member of that family to fully complete the same training as any other Army officer. No special favours, no shortcuts. It's why he's the only one now that many of us respect.

It's true that Diana found happiness but unfortunately it was not able for her to live on and see the weddings of her boys and her grandchildren growing up. I think it's Harry's main problem that he claims he deserves fairness from the palace. Obviously he hasn't fully internalized that the monarchy in itself is based on heredity, not fairness!!! If it was all about fairness, Margaret would have had the same chance to get a marriage with someone she was deeply in love with, just like her older sister Elizabeth!!! If it was about fairness, the monarchy wouldn't survive half a century. Those rules and regulations are the backbones of a system that is hierarchical and relentless concerning this immaculate image of the monarchy for outsiders, which essentially means everyone outside the royal family. Harry had a very difficult time when he was dating someone, since they refused to get married to him just because they didn't want to put up with those rules of the firm. It wasn't his fault but it made a happy marriage nearly impossible. Meghan didn't shy away from the limelight, she was thriving in it. Harry and the royals were happy, even though William saw the potential, probably as the only person, that could turn out to become dangerous for the monarchy. And I am not talking about Meghan outside of the firm, it's about Meghan inside the royal family!!! It's obvious that it started with the appearance of the fabulous four when Kate was heavily pregnant with Louis. Meghan was eloquent and delicate, Harry had always been very popular and there's some irritation already in William's face. Kate was merely trying to survive emotionally being confronted with such a whirlwind personality as a future sister in law.... Kate was used to the easygoing Harry next to William and her, bringing in fun and an extremely high amount of support for them. Suddenly there's not only a woman in his presence, but she is everything Kate is not. It started when Harry and Meghan had a fabulous start abroad in Australia and New Zealand. I am sure that not only William as the future king, but also the palace, the institution were horrified. The support of the monarchy means hierarchy and nobody is allowed to outshine the future king and his wife!!! Why, just because it's dangerous for the system. The future king must be the better one, his wife must be the better one. Everything else is detrimental for the monarchy!!! There's also the situation when Kate was heavily upset because Meghan had a more sensational garden for viewers, in a gardening competition. Meghan didn't understand that what was expected from her and Harry was supporting the future king and nothing else. People loved Harry and Meghan just as they loved Diana. Harry has the same charisma and that attracts people. Meghan was a very strong influence on him. Harry has been told what to do every single day, for his whole life. Meghan started to bring more freedom. Harry was ready to leave the monarchy behind already years before when it seemed impossible for him to find a future wife within this institution. Meghan was just an additional weight on the scale. I must say that all the people who are talking about fake pregnancies with Archie and Lilibet, forget about the needs of the monarchy!!! Meghan can easily admit that she used a surrogate mother, but it's the palace that needs fake pregnancies in order to achieve future posts for the monarchy, in case William wouldn't become king and his children are too young. Then Harry would become king and his children must officially be born from the official wife of Harry in order to be in the line of succession... And the line of succession is everything. That's why nobody has ever talked about Meghan using surrogate mothers. The palace needs to keep up the narrative for the future. That's all. And Harry and Meghan needed to become bad in the eyes of the public, in order to let the future king William shine.

they didnt though, they literally didn't. this is all absolute whitewashing the history - for years and years he was the favourite prince and the press played a huge part in that. He directly began attacking the press so they immediately turned on him. they ARE vile, but theres literally no evidence william was protected over him when william and kate have been under a microscope

[@saralynn518]

I thought "okay, cool, let's see what's going on with Harry". Halfway through, I'm tearing up at being able to relate with my sibling and parental loss, and at my heartbreak for what he's been through. I still can't accept my mom's death because there was no closure. I still imagine her up at their house. My parents died within 10 months of each other in 2020. If I imagine her up there, then my dad has to be there too despite being with him when he passed. Grief is no joke. Your brain will imagine what it needs to to get by. Now if only I could imagine a loving support network into existence, things might eventually improve.

[@jenniferlee1410]

I was 13 when I lost my mum. There were multiple times I'd turn my head in a store thinking she was there because I could smell her scent (it's interesting his mention of his mom's perfume) and other times I've sworn I've seen her out of the corner of my eye. It used to scare me at first, but I try to just think of it as her spirit way of showing me she's still here.

[@cherylsalmon8429]

My Dad died of a heart attack at 48 when I was 20. For years I used to have dreams that he wasn't really dead, that he had had to pretend to be dead as he was undercover or something. I think this is the brain trying to make sense of the shock of the situation. My siblings had similar experiences.

@ronaldguida poor Harry has everyone believing his lies. the man is pitiful and hateful but since he wrote about who knows who's experiences, we have to believe him. I'm not that gullible, I lost my dad when I was 13, cancer believe me it was a 2 yr battle. William lost his mom too, he could had a better understanding since he was older. now one guy comes and talks and that's it. nah when you have been proven a liar, and when ypur lying wife had a hand in your book. pff

@@ellysarmiento5001 not everyone has to have an experience that matches yours. That's what makes us humans and individuals. You are listening to the one side of the narrative. They always say there are two sides to every story and the truth is in between. I'm very sorry that you also experienced a loss. But I'm sad you'd share such a harsh comment on what is a lovely and supportive thread of each other's individual experiences. I'm sorry that you feel so much anger and I hope you find peace.

Two men with such undeniably different lives (from most people and from one another) seeming to relate and take one another so seriously is just a truly good thing to see.

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Its because Harry is grounded. Unfortunately a few people here in the UK, included the papers, don't seem to understand he was bored into the family. He didn't choose that life and when he decided he didn't enjoy it and wanted out, just like his mum, they set to destroy him. I don't mind the Royal Family, but they've treated him like shit. And after his and Meghan's Netflix documentary, the British press just proved him and Meghan right by carrying on with the shit. Sadly, a lot of idiot British people believe it. For example in the documentary he talked about the cottage they were gifted by the Queen, Nottingham Cottage. The press and some idiots got annoyed about this claiming "They'd been gifted a cottage and they are moaning. That's bigger than my flat". That wasn't the point of that piece. They are very well aware they are privileged. The point of that was, the arsehole UK press were pretty much making out they were gifted Kensington Palace, that they were living in a mansion. They were trying to show, yes, it was a nice gift, but it wasn't a massive mansion that the press made it out to be.
