Prince Harry’s recent claims about therapy have sparked a debate on whether he sought professional help or not.
The Duke of Sussex, known for his interest in analysis and alternative therapies, stated that he reached out to his therapist before speaking to his wife Meghan Markle after a heated argument with his brother Prince William.
However, in a panel discussion with Oprah Winfrey, Harry mentioned that he has never had therapy and that his family avoids discussing their problems.
Contradicting Harry’s statement, a 2017 interview reveals that Prince William actually encouraged him to seek therapy.
Moreover, the Royal Daily Tee reports that Prince Charles was concerned about his brother and even offered to attend therapy sessions together, suspecting that the therapist was manipulating Harry’s thoughts.
Interestingly, Neil Sean alleges that Harry had his therapist present during interviews promoting Spare, leaving many wondering why he didn’t involve the therapist when Meghan was experiencing suicidal thoughts.
It is puzzling why Harry chose not to enlist the help of his therapist for his wife’s well-being.
Having a publicist or press team present during interviews seems more logical than having a therapist by his side.
William’s concerns about Harry’s therapist are evident in the Netflix docuseries, where a guidance therapist advises them to ignore negativity over the phone.
Additionally, Meghan’s behavior during these sessions, such as touching Harry’s leg and sitting in yoga positions, raises questions about the therapist’s approach, which appears unconventional.
Prince Harry’s claim that he never heard the words “therapy” or “coaching” while growing up in the royal family and during his ten years in the military has been met with skepticism.
This contradicts his involvement in Heads Together, a mental health initiative led by the Royal Foundation, which he joined in 2016 alongside Prince William and Princess Catherine.
The initiative aims to combat the stigma surrounding mental health and raise funds for innovative mental health services.
Critics online have accused Prince Harry of lying, pointing out his inconsistencies.
One user wrote, “Harry’s a liar,” while another commented, “Oh, what a tangled web he’s weaved while practicing to deceive you all.”
These remarks refer to Harry’s statement at a JP Morgan event where he mentioned starting counseling in 2012 when he was 28 years old.
The skepticism continues as users question why Harry is given a platform to spread what they perceive as falsehoods.
In response to the controversy, some online users humorously referenced Queen Elizabeth’s statement, “Recollections may vary,” which she used to address the Sussexes’ allegations against the royal family during their interview with Oprah Winfrey.
They juxtaposed this statement with a clip of Prince Harry discussing the origins of Heads Together, highlighting the inconsistency in his claims.
As the debate surrounding Prince Harry’s therapy claims unfolds, the public remains divided.
While some question the veracity of his statements, others defend his right to share his experiences.
The truth may lie somewhere amidst the conflicting accounts, but one thing is certain: Prince Harry’s revelations have ignited a discussion on mental health and the role therapy plays within the royal family.
