Palace Intrigue: Harry, Meghan & the Crown. Royal Family News and Gossip.Show Notes
Prince Harry is opening up about some of the darkest periods of his life, including depression, panic attacks and the complicated grief he experienced following Princess Diana’s death. In a new MasterClass conversation, Harry reveals that he tries never to spend more than ten days away from Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet. He also describes experiencing a dramatic emotional crash after moving to Canada, when the stress and adrenaline that had driven him for years suddenly disappeared. Harry says he slipped into depression for approximately two weeks and struggled to function.
Harry also discusses the panic attacks he experienced before royal engagements, explaining how something as simple as putting on a shirt and tie could leave him feeling suffocated. He reveals that therapy helped him process Diana’s death, that he keeps a photograph of his mother nearby and that he still looks to her for guidance.
But the MasterClass appearance has sparked criticism, with reports confirming Harry was paid to participate. Some critics accuse him of profiting from his mother’s death, although the amount he received has not been disclosed.
Meanwhile, Meghan has been spotted having tea with Malala Yousafzai at Claridge’s in London, wearing an outfit and accessories valued by the Daily Mail at approximately $37,000. There are also new questions about Meghan’s As Ever business. According to Similarweb estimates reported by Newsweek, visits to the brand’s website dropped approximately 22 percent in September. An As Ever spokesperson says the decline reflects normal fluctuations between product launches rather than a problem with the business.
Plus, social media critics are accusing Meghan of copying Princess Diana’s style in her latest holiday promotional photographs.
