I get where some of these comments are coming from, but the kid lost his Mum at 12 years old in very horrific and spurious circumstances then was made to walk behind the coffin in front of the entire world.
It will mess you up. He doesn't want history to repeat itself which it looked like it would.
Yes there's a victim mentality here, but they way his Mum died makes him a victim. He's looking out for his family and trying to raise awareness for mental health at the same time.
Never judge a man til you've walked a mile in his moccasins and all that.
Yes he is in a privileged position but much like MJ, I wouldnt swap places with him.

Didn't they say the moved to the US because they were tired of publicity in the UK and they want to keep a low profile? Since then they are doing one high profile show after another, including airing their deepest private matters out in the public. I just spent a couple of minutes googling variations of "meghan markle wanted low profile" and I'm not really getting any actual quotes from them saying that. I have heard other people suggest that though (and I know you're good at finding stuff so maybe you will ) It goes back to their statement in 2016 they had Kensington Palace put out. On top of that, their then Communications Secretary, Jason Knauf, asserts Kensington Palace did their best to protect Meghan's privacy which is contrary to her claim to Oprah. It isn't funny how many of their claims have since been debunked as untrue or misleading.

For some reason, this article made me think of Wade Robson. The perpetual victim mentality to gain fame and money and blaming everyone else for things that you dislike about your life. I'm not saying Harry hasn't got the right to feel angry at the press for what happened to his mother, but continually throwing his family under the bus and blaming them for everything is very reminiscent of Wade's delusions about MJ. He also talks about his families "total neglect" when Meghan was struggling with her mental health and contemplating suicide. Ummmm.... how is that his families responsibility? Or am I missing something? Everyone is responsible for looking after their own mental health and I say that as a person who has struggled with depression/anxiety myself and has a strong family history of those issues. I didn't expect anybody to pick up the pieces after me or blame anyone else for my struggles. It's become a really convenient cultural phenomenon to absolve oneself of any personal accountability in life and blame everything you're unhappy with on those around you. It's all very self-serving, narcissistic and selfish. Here's the article: To add to this, contrast Harry's behaviour with William's. Both lost their mother at very young ages, 15 and 12 respectively. William deals with things more maturely and with more class than Harry does. Having known close relatives who've had to put the pieces of their lives back together after a brutal and cowardly murder by terrorists, I see how they dealt with it. With class, dignity and a determination to not allow such a brutal murder to dictate or dominate the rest of their lives. I see William doing pretty much the same thing they did. Let's not use Harry being 12 as an excuse as three of my relatives were much younger - 9, 6 and 14months respectively. Yes, there was a LOT of media attention for a good while afterwards which made it harder for them to process the murder. I still remember tv cameras. So, I'm afraid I've very little time for Harry revictimising himself over and over again in the way he does. The article Matty posted has a good word that describes what Harry's doing in comparison to William. Narcissistic. Harry used to be the more popular brother in the UK, but he's shot himself in the foot big time with most of the UK public. William, on the other hand, has steadily become more popular than he used to be.

I doubt it's because of any fan pressure, probably just the license running out, but it's a good thing it finally disappears from Netflix.

That George guy is in Cyprus, so that's last day for them at least. But UK Netflix has an 18+ rating and NO last day deadline at all, so it'll be on there for a while yet. A year in Cyprus, apparently!

There isn't much to go on from his own twitter thread. It looks like he doesn't seem to get that "not for the foreseeable" isn't the same thing as permanent. Meanwhile, my UK Netflix account certainly doesn't say 1st June 2021 is the last day for LN. But George's Cyprus Netflix does. So far, it looks like it'll be off Cyprus Netflix from 1st June and it was on there for a year, approximately. Take with a pinch of salt until we see something more concrete than the above twitter thread.
