Prince Harry
too much therapy? Apparently Prince Harry has.
That’s according to NHS psychiatrist Dr Max Pemberton, who wrote in a column for the Daily Mail: “He is starting to embody the characteristics of those who’ve had too much therapy – self-centred, self-obsessed, aggrieved and resentful.”
Dr Pemberton’s critique came after Harry spoke about leaving the royal family to break what the prince called a cycle of “genetic pain”. Most recently, the 36-year-old appeared in a mental health series on Apple TV, The Me You Can’t See, where he said the trauma of his mother’s death led to him using alcohol and drugs to numb his emotions. He was just 12 when Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash while being pursued by the press in Paris.
Social contact is limited for the majority of people across the UK during the third lockdown, allowing people to mix only with their households indoors. For kids, this is very much the same – schools are only open for key workers’ children, meaning many are being schooled at home by their parents.
One age group where things resemble normal life more than for most is nursery-age kids. During lockdown, nurseries have been asked to remain open for all children (even if some have limited their intake and parents have voluntarily opted to keep their kids out). But for those children who do continue to attend and socialise with other kids their age, there have been some behaviour shifts.
