Prince Harry and Oprah have a new documentary on metal health. The docuseries, The Me You Can’t See, has just premiered on Apple TV+.
In the documentary, Prince Harry gave us more insight into Meghan’s time in the royal family. He revealed he once woke up to her crying due to the horrible claims in the British press.
“I was woken up in the middle of the night to her crying in her pillow because she doesn’t want to wake me up, because I’m already carrying too much. That’s heartbreaking. I held her, we talked, she cried, and she cried, and she cried.”
Meghan was the one to inspire Prince Harry to go to therapy. In fact, it was during an argument that she made that suggestion.
“[By] meeting and being with Meghan, I knew that if I didn’t do therapy and fix myself, that I was going to lose this woman who I could see spending the rest of my life with. There was a lot of learning right at the beginning of our relationship. She was shocked to be coming backstage of the institution of the British royal family. When she said, ‘I think you need to see someone,’ that was in reaction to an argument we had. And in that argument, not knowing about it, I reverted back to 12-year-old Harry.”
But therapy really helped him. Prince Harry explained that, after starting therapy, he’s feeling better today than he has in the last 32 years.
Prince Harry revealed that his therapist helped him move on from his difficult childhood. You remember Prince Harry lost his mother, Princess Diana, when he was still very young. She told him: “‘You never processed it. You were never allowed to talk about it. And all of a sudden now, it’s coming up in different ways as projection.’ That was the start of a learning journey for me. I became aware that I’d been living in a bubble, within this family, within this institution, I was sort of almost trapped in a thought process or a mindset.”
Prince Harry concluded that “therapy has equipped me to be able to take on anything. That’s why I’m here now. That’s why my wife is here now. We chose to put our mental health first. That’s what we’re doing. And that’s what we will continue to do.”
The Me You Can’t See it’s available on Apple TV+.
