In the wake of endless royal turmoil — from being stripped of security titles, the deepening rift with Prince William, to the backlash following the release of Spare and the Netflix docuseries — sources close to Prince Harry say he is now experiencing a prolonged and deeply troubling period of depression.
A former military friend who once served alongside Harry shared:
“He used to be full of energy and optimism. But now… Harry’s not himself. He avoids deep conversations, grows quiet, and sometimes lashes out for no clear reason.”
According to insiders, Meghan Markle is extremely worried, especially as Harry has begun pulling out of public events and canceling charity meetings he once passionately championed. Within the Archewell team, there have been private discussions about temporarily removing Harry from all official duties over the coming months.
One heartbreaking detail caught the public’s attention: at a recent event in California, Harry was seen sitting alone backstage, staring at a bracelet that once belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. A crew member revealed:
“He sat there motionless for nearly 20 minutes. No phone. No conversation. Just this eerie silence.”
Many are now asking: after leaving the royal family in pursuit of “freedom,” has Harry instead found himself trapped in a different kind of prison — an internal one, shaped by isolation and emotional burden?
One mental health expert weighed in:
“Harry isn’t just grieving personal pain. He’s carrying expectations, judgment, and pressure from two worlds — the royal institution and Hollywood. And sometimes… nowhere feels like home.”
Now, the question is no longer “Where will Harry appear next?” —
but rather, “Who will truly stand by him when the lights go out?”
