Queen Knows Prince Harry Has Mental Health Issues And Wants Him To Sort It Out

In the past, Prince Harry had disclosed that post his mother Princess Diana’s death, he was enduring “total chaos” as he was unable to come to terms with her absence in his life. While counselling had seemingly helped him put his issues to rest, in the recently released documentary, Harry and Meghan: An African Journey, he has shared how “it all came back.”

In one of his earlier interviews, the Prince had confessed that for almost 20 years after losing his mother, Diana, he “shut down all his emotions” even though his brother, Prince William, was trying to persuade him to seek help. He eventually sought professional help and began to address his grief at the age of 28 as he was constantly “on the verge of punching someone” and facing anxiety during royal engagements.

And now, in the controversial documentary which has pointed many fingers at the British Royal Family, Harry shared the need for “management” of his mental health problems as he is once again struggling with them. “I thought I was out of the woods and suddenly it all came back,” he said. He also shared that he and Prince William are on different paths, hinting towards a possible rift between the two.

Following his unexpected confessions in the documentary, another news made the headlines- of the royal couple spending Christmas with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, instead of spending the festival with the rest of the royal family at Sandringham.

The Queen’s former spokesperson, Dickie Arbiter, commented on the situation, saying that it was a “shame” the family would not be together.

He added: “I think the Queen is letting [Harry] get on with it, she's very pragmatic and certainly understand that Harry's got mental health issues and they need to sort it out.”

But now, it is time for Harry “to decide what he wants to do. It's a pity that Harry and Meghan might not be there but Meghan has got family as well,” he said.

“They have got to sort themselves out because this [rift] can't go on forever. Harry has got to sort himself out. He's got to decide what it is he wants to do. There is a lot of speculation about him dropping out of the royal family but he was born a prince and he'll die a price and there's no way he can escape from that. He's got to sort his relationship out with his brother. But there is a rift between the brothers and the body language between the brothers when they are together is not the best. Hopefully, Meghan will help him sort it out,” he said.
