Prince Harry Opens Up About Depression, Princess Diana and Years of Pain
Prince Harry recently shared a deeply personal account of his struggle with depression and severe anxiety in a new master class. He reveals that stepping back from royal duties and moving to Canada with his family did not immediately bring the peace he expected.
The Duke of Sussex describes an intense adrenaline crash that occurred just days after relocating, leaving him unable to function without the stress of his previous life. He admits to feeling useless around the house and needing constant pressure to keep his brain working.
Beyond his recent move, Harry connects his current pain to years of unresolved grief following the death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997. He confesses to suppressing his emotions for nearly two decades, believing that crying was unacceptable for a man.
Harry explains how he used public engagements and military service as distractions to outrun his feelings rather than confronting them. He eventually realized his mother would want him to be happy, a shift in perspective that helped him heal and honor her legacy through his charitable work.
