Overview
- The MasterClass episode, which was released on Saturday for World Mental Health Day, records Harry describing an 'adrenaline crash' after the 2019 move to Canada and a roughly two‑week depressive episode.
- In the course he links long‑running emotional numbness to his mother Princess Diana’s 1997 death and says therapy helped him accept that being happy did not betray her memory.
- Critics on social media and some outlets have accused Harry of monetising his trauma because the MasterClass is a paid product, prompting a public debate about paid mental‑health content.
- During his return to Britain in August the Sussexes settled in the Cotswolds, Harry enforces a personal rule of never being apart from Meghan and the children for more than ten days, and he was reportedly booed when shown on a stadium screen at a recent rugby match.
- Commentators note the disclosures come as the couple reposition their careers with reports that Harry plans to work more in the UK while Meghan focuses on projects tied to the United States, and the episode adds fresh context to years of public interviews and projects about their life after Megxit.
