Prince Harry Says He Was Depressed for Two Weeks After Moving to Canada
He said the move triggered an adrenaline crash and a two-week depression as he adjusted to life away from royal duties.
- Prince Harry released a new MasterClass titled "Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss" on Thursday, featuring neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor. The course explores grief's impact on the brain and body, structured around five lessons on processing loss.
- Reflecting on Princess Diana's death on August 31, 1997, when he was 12, Harry admitted he suppressed emotions for nearly two decades. "I didn't cry when I was told my mum died," he said, "only at her burial, and then not again for nearly two decades."
- During his 2019 relocation to Vancouver, Harry experienced an "adrenaline crash" that triggered a two-week depression. He later used scent therapy with Diana's perfume, which he said "unlocked everything that had been locked previously," reconnecting him with forgotten memories.
- Sharing his current life approach, Harry follows a "10-day rule," ensuring he is never away from his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for longer than 10 days. This balance supports both his work and family.
- MasterClass is supporting Scotty's Little Soldiers and Comfort Zone Camp, organizations helping grieving youth. Harry emphasized that resilience is about "what you build on the way back up," positioning the course as part of broader grief education and support.
