Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

Other kids have lost their mothers in horrific circumstance and coped with it.

Ask those whose mothers were murdered by the IRA and had to be collected in a bucket.

He's a spoilt brat who threw his toys out of the pram (baby carriage!) because he couldn't get his own way.

As I said before, when she has the baby she'll have three kids to look after.
 

I yearn for a time when it is universally acceptable for men to be openly vulnerable, share their fears, emotions, losses etc, without having their masculinity questioned. The world will be a far healthier, happier, and less violent place

when both genders are able to embrace mental wellbeing rather than outworn and toxic societal expectations. To live an

authentic and nurturing life is one of the greatest gifts possible, both to oneself, and also to family, friends, and whomever else one interacts with. This is true strength in my book.

Everything is circumstantial...it just does not do to equate one event with another!!

Earlier you liked a post I made regarding my belief thoe does not display symptoms of NPD. I am curious what prompted your change of mind.

It's not that I changed my mind, Shalimar, but this thread has turned into a dispute between psychologists of which there are a few on here. To diagnose from afar as Dana said is an injustice to the individual. Then Dana at the end of her statement goes on to say she agreed with you, but prior to that she points out that she, like Markle is a Leo and identified strongly with her. Now if that is her criterion for making a decision as to whether a person suffers NPD or not, makes one wonder. However, being a professional, I am certain that is not the case, but others reading that might come to the conclusion this is phony psychology. She has since made a change to her thread and I'll make a statement regarding my use of a session or two. That is simply a throwaway remark and not intended to diminish how we assess a client.

This thread is not about narcissism at all. All actors have a degree of narcissism, make no mistake about that. It is about why these two people chose to leave the Royal Family of the UK the way they did instead of just quietly requesting a release from all Royal Duties in order to pursue an independent life of their own. They are seen in such a negative light, and at this point, rightly so.

IMHO, he was traumatized by his moms death and that can do some psychological issues we’re not always aware of, mine died when I was 12, so I’m a little familiar with this.
He has an overwhelming negative opinion of the paparazzi and they just never back off!
I’m thinking,she may have had issues with Kate and William, they seem to abide by all the “old guard” rules of the firm.
He has always seemed to me a free spirit and she maybe as well.
Just my humble opinion folks.

Prince Harry has never been happy with his royal status. You only have to look at early photos of him to see that. Neither has Prince William but I think he resigned himself to it.
Harry's choice of bride shows clearly his contempt for his 'royalness'. If he felt that she was the one he couldn't live without, he should have given up his royal life and made his home in America right from the start.

Nonsense Lewkat..my mentioning being the same star sign as Meghan is a bit of a throwaway remark...not a "criterion" for making a diagnosis. Furthermore, you mentioned recently that you are a nurse...you are in no position to diagnose anyone and I do not mean to disrespect you in any way, but, you seem to change your profession in the course of a few days.

I am unable to make sense of your reasoning here, frankly, it appears to be one more post by sf members criticising the professional capabilities of certain sf members who happen to be psychologists. Pity a difference of opinion has devolved into personal attacks.

All right, maybe I'm being dense, but I can't for the life of me understand why these two are getting all this publicity. What have they ever done for the world, or even for their respective countries? One was born into royalty and incredible (unearned) wealth, and the other is an actress who married the royal guy. And then they decided that the royal life style was not for them, so they gave up certain privileges, though I'm sure they are not destitute and starving, they moved to America, and there's probably a major battle (a "royal" battle?) going on between Harry and his family of birth.

That's it? Why an interview with Oprah? Why even the lengthy discussions on social media? If they had made major contributions to science or the arts, done something heroic to alleviate poverty, world hunger, etc., I could understand why they are such celebrities. But even for those who are fascinated by British royalty, these two seem like pretty minor players to be getting all this fuss made over them, especially in America.

What am I missing here?

To me it's like Paris Hilton.
She's famous for being famous.
She just happened to be born a Hilton and she's rich.
That's it. Why do people care?
Same with the Royals, They just happened to be born a "Royal".
That's it.

They're purposely staging the fuss for publicity for their Netflix and Spotify deals. Playing victim is en vogue these days, and since they're 'victims' of one of the most interesting families of the past 1,000 years in the Western world, people like Oprah and her audience lap that up.

Harry is only relevant on the world stage by birth, Meghan by marriage to him. Though they ditched his family, they've got to keep a connection going for their market and tears sell.

I just call it "The Kardashian Syndrome" or "The Kardashian Phenomenon".

People who are famous merely for being famous. They don't have to do anything special or be anyone special, maybe just have a famous family name or famous relatives.

The half-wits of the world whose lives are so empty and devoid of meaning and their heads so empty and devoid of anything more interesting to occupy their thoughts, fawn all over them like characters in a daytime soap opera, feeding off the drama surrounding them, which has itself been carefully orchestrated and choreographed by professional PR people who specialize in creating a buzz around these kinds of useless celebrities.

Very well put. Thank you.
The celebrities of the vacuous.
 
If Harry wanted a quiet life, he wouldn't have gotten married to an actress.

They could opt to live a quiet life, doing charity work, as I'd thought they intended.

I don't know if their marriage can withstand all the drama, but I wish them well.
