Prince Harry is continuing to get real about his experience in the Royal family –much to their chagrin. The Queen is reportedly “deeply upset” after Harry’s latest comments in his new mental health series with Oprah Winfrey, “The Me You Can’t See.”
In the docuseries, Harry doubled down on his take on Prince Charles’ parenting style passing on a lot of “genetic pain and suffering,” recalling Charles telling him and Prince William: “Well, it was like that for me, so it’s going to be like that for you.” “That doesn’t make sense,” Harry added. “Just because you suffered doesn’t mean your kids have to suffer – do everything you can do to make sure you can make it right for your kids.”
A royal insider tells “Daily Mail” that the Queen has taken Harry’s words “very personally and is deeply upset.” “Suggesting his father knows no better because of how he was brought up,” the source adds. “It has been a very upsetting time.”
Here’s what else Harry said in the docuseries:
- Harry revealed that Meghan Markle’s experience in the Royal family got so rough that she contemplated suicide the night before their charity event at Royal Albert Hall in January 2019. What stopped her? Harry said it was the loss of his own mother Princess Diana that came to Meghan’s mind – and, of course, the fact that she was carrying baby Archie at the time. According to Harry, Royal life didn’t make much room for Meghan’s struggles – after a “quick cuddle,” it was off to Royal Albert Hall and a “wall of cameras,” they just had to “pretend as though everything is okay” to avoid negative press.
- Speaking of negative press, Harry called all those rumors that Meghan was a “bully” at Kensington Palace a “smear” campaign by both “the firm and the media.”
- Harry also opened up about how he’s been processing the death of his mother Princess Diana. “The Me You Can’t See” functions as an on-camera therapy session, and Harry says he’s spent most of his life avoiding processing the trauma from the loss of his mom – until now. “I was willing to drink, I was willing to take drugs, I was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like I was feeling,” he recalled. “Not because I was enjoying it but because I was trying to mask something.”
