I am pro-mental health awareness. What concerns me is Harry co-opting an important cause for commercial and image mgmt.
Mental health awareness is about reducing shame, not criticising your family through the media while building your brand.
Harry has every right to talk about his personal experiences.
But it’s not healthy (or helpful) to bad mouth your father to media. It won’t help him.
No worthwhile mental health professional would recommend discussing your negative opinions of your family publically.
While he might think he’s being healthy by talking so openly but it seems like passive aggression to me.
Not helpful, not kind.
And the interview delay? How does the ‘authentic, casual podcast’ fit in with the blatant media manipulation?
He’s aiming to establish a positive narrative before the UK expressed valid pain and disgust. More proof he knows exactly what he’s doing when he blames PC and HM for his pain.
Harry has experience and media training, he knows what the response will be.
Interview - commercial exploitation of his family
Content - consciously passive aggression, PR in the name of mental health awareness which makes me feel visceral disgust.
Bring on the results of the investigation. Time to out Meghan for the bully she is, and the knowing accomplice Harry was.
