Prince Harry has once again spoken about how the death of his mother Princess Diana affected his mental health, his decision to quit the royal family, and his strained relationship with his father Prince Charles in a series of revealing interviews.

In the documentary The Me You Can’t See, the Duke of Sussex spoke candidly with friend Oprah Winfrey about his decision to seek therapy in a bid to help break down the stigma around mental health.
“To make that decision to receive help is not a sign of weakness,” Harry, who is the chief impact officer for mental health organisation Better Up, said.
“In today’s world, more than ever, it’s a sign of strength.”
Appearing on the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard days earlier, Harry again threw shade at the royal family, describing royal life as “a mixture between The Truman Show and being in a zoo”.
He also appeared to blame his father for much of his unhappiness, adding that he was going to “break the cycle” for his own children.
“I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on,” Harry revealed.
“It’s a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway, so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say, ‘You know what? That happened to me, I’m going to make sure that it doesn’t happen to you’.”
