Harry and Oprah will host ANOTHER Apple TV+ show on FRIDAY as follow-up to mental health documentary | Daily Mail Online

Identifying the need to address one's emotional health is a worthy and important cause and long overdue, but it could be championed in a much better way. In my opinion these interviews and programs are melodramatic and gossipy pieces of entertainment. They are exploiting the Duke of Susses's issues, showcasing his ignorance and providing a vehicle for him to make money while he damages his family in full public view. I feel that those close to him are letting him down.

HeadsTogether promotes MH and to seek and talk about it with professionals and family.

They don't promote it to go broadcast. The end.

^ I do agree that people around him are exploiting him. As he is mentally unhealthy he doesn't see it that way.

how come he was able to behave reasonably well and correclty, in public, up to the time he married Meghan?

Ha. Wait until he starts in on gun control laws.
The foreign prince coming waiting to be a guru, know- it-all to the American people is not something he just did. When he first git here a year ago, his goal to stop negativity, cruelty, and such by helping revamp the internet sites.
We have laws against slander, defamation, and bullying.
There is nothing wrong, not one thing ethnically wrong, illegal about printing the truth. It may be cruel, nasty, and very hurting , but it is the truth, then it is the truth.

We do not have here laws to protect our politicians, celebrityville entertainers, athletes, and Brit royalty, no one from having the truth told about them. Ex. You stole, embrllezd, had an affair...etc. and so. So what.

We do not have royalty here so he loses that protection afforded him in his home country.

What he and Megan is glowing , nice press.

I meant that Harry and Meghan's interviews and his new series "The Me You Don't See" are not advantageous to the cause. I realize that Heads Together and others are fine programs.

I don't know the answer to your question but I suspect that rather than a simple answer it is likely a complicated one.

Macrobug67 · May 28, 2021, 02:30:30 AM

I, too, suspect the answer is multilayered and complicated. I stand by my opinion that Meghan has been the catalyst for Harry?s preexisting, previously somewhat hidden, conditions to come roaring out into the open.

Amabel2 · May 28, 2021, 07:21:43 AM

But we're told that Meghan got on well with Charles, and that she was a bond between the 2 men. Seems to me then that for Meghan, she saw no reason to go on the attack against Charles while he was bankrolling them.... It was only when he cut off funds that she and Harry both attacked him...

Harry started working on the Apple TV series with Oprah BEFORE quitting royal life

FanDianaFancy · May 28, 2021, 01:10:02 PM

Timelime does not lie. It is not biased. It is fact.
Their timelime shows well before Megan n baby left Nov 2019, the patents, this Oprah ting, n more were all in play. MegHarry left well before Nov 2019 in a way. They just did not up n leave. It was well thought out, planned months, months in advance.
AGAIN, just fact and I totally 200% get it, Megan and American and her personality, tha BRF thing just was not for her. Second fiddle to Catherine. Waiting yo walk behind her behind Camilla behind QE, ahhhhhh nah.

Ok, off my same ole repeated soapbox,

Amabel2 · May 28, 2021, 03:48:09 PM

yes IMO they DID plan on leaving earlier than late 2019.. but after all they wanted not to leave fully but to be half in and half out. So, in that sense, they were not planning on walking right out of Frogmore.. or completely giving up their royal work...
They probably did put out feelers for some time to businesses to see if they could get deals on moving ot Canada or the USA. But they would not have wanted to fall out with Charles, since they were (by H's own words) planning on still having him or the tax payer pay their security and provide an income.. So back in the first year of marriage, seems like both of them were capable of being polite in public and probably in private with Charles..
Its only in the past year, since they left and Charles told them that he was not going to go on helping them financially and neither would the taxpayer... that they let their hostility to him show. There was nothing to be gained, then from "being polite to Pa"....

Harry is probably holding a lot of resentment towards his dad for his affair with Camila while married to his mother. It is what seeded the interview she did and what lead to her death.

Macrobug67 · May 28, 2021, 04:42:45 PM

Gentle warning: please keep the focus on Harry and Meghan when discussing past history. Of course it is ok to discuss as long as it stays on the topic of Harry and Meghan's interviews and TV programs. If it veers off posts may be moved or removed. Thanks.

So, kind of strange that he could be freindly with his father for a long time, declare that he " loved Camilla to bits" and thanked his father for escorting Meghan...

From 2018 Angela Levin's biography of Prince Harry in which she shadowed the Prince for an entire year. He certainly didn't have any resentful feelings towards his stepmother then.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/prince-harry-says-camilla-is-not-a-wicked-stepmother-book-claims

QuotePrince Harry isn?t afraid to defend his stepmother Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall ? a woman who many still believe broke up the marriage of his parents Princess Diana and Prince Charles.

Express.co.uk obtained an excerpt from a new biography on the 33-year-old royal by journalist Angela Levin titled ?Harry: A Biography of a Prince." It claims the Duke of Sussex believes the public should feel sorry for the 71-year-old.

The book was based on conversations the British reporter shared with Harry, who is sixth in line to the throne, before his marriage to former American actress Meghan Markle in May.

Levin had previously accompanied Harry on his many engagements and shadowed him for over a year. She also had exclusive access to him at Kensington Palace.?To be honest, she?s always been very close to me and William,? Harry told Levin, according to the author. ?She?s not a wicked stepmother. Look at the position she?s coming into. Don?t feel sorry for me and William, feel sorry for her.

"She?s a wonderful woman and she?s made our father very, very happy which is the most important thing. William and I love her to bits.?

TLLK:

What else would Harry say at that time? He was living in the UK and still in the family. He probably kept his true feelings and resentment well hidden until now. Prince Charles had to have done something for Harry to speak out against his father like he has done.

Prince Charles cheated on his mother and now his father is married to that woman and his mother is dead.
