Prince Harry Says He Was Depressed for Two Weeks After Moving to Canada
He said the move triggered an adrenaline crash after years of royal stress, and he felt unable to function for about two weeks.
- On Thursday, Prince Harry recalled in a new MasterClass that he "slipped into a depression" for about two weeks after his 2019 move to Canada. The 42-year-old Duke of Sussex described the transition as jarring.
- The Duke explained his body was "pumped full of adrenaline" from his career in the British Army, causing an "adrenaline crash" within days of leaving the stressful environment of the United Kingdom.
- Harry noted he "felt like I couldn't function without adrenaline" and became "useless around the house" after the move. His desire for high-stress situations stemmed from years of emotional shutdown following Princess Diana's death.
- The Sussexes returned to England in August after living in California for six years. Despite returning, the family has not resumed royal duties while Harry continues managing his mental health.
- Filmed in California earlier this summer, the MasterClass titled Redefining Grief aligns with World Mental Health Day on October 10. The project benefits bereavement charities Comfort Zone Camp and Scotty's Little Soldiers.
