He's just not himself though now and again he comes to life when talking about something genuinely dear to him and not the BS Meghan feeds him with. He doesn't look well either, like he is medicated or something....

Yeah it seems hypocritical or again like Harry should lose the right to speak about his mother because he left the Royal family........

What baffles me is that all the stuff Harry and Meghan preach through their Podcasts....they could have done this on the best stage of all as part of the Royal Family....

I found the earlier seasons interesting because it all happened before my time so I didn't know any of that history and the later seasons interesting in a different way because I would have known a lot of the stuff through the media at that time

...because what he appears to be saying is that ‘fun/happy go lucky/larking around’....Harry..?..is a time in his life when he was avoiding processing his grief, which he tried to avoid for two decades...and that’s something that I’ve known to happen../...similar things with other people...

...and we know ourselves, even without PTS and such the like...that people can smile their widest smiles and lark around the most when they’re at their lowest points...The surface can be such a mask...

...Harry has always seemed as though he never really enjoyed the fit with Royal duties in the same way as his brother...I mean it’s just such a ‘trade off’ as well, I guess...to give your whole life to duty if that’s not where your heart lies...

He does seem to have lost the Happy-go-lucky aspect. Maybe its dawned on him...he has gone from playing second fiddle to William to playing second fiddle to Meghan.....all he wanted was a quiet life

Spoken without payment, and NOT many times. He isn't being KEPT by the taxpayer either, he's a working royal.
The comparison isn't there, because Harry was paid to speak to bankers about her and is being paid by a company that is making up fictional conversations etc for dramatic effect (and controversy to get people to watch!) about his FAMILY for huge profits.
Again, if you don't see the difference here, no problem. We all have different cut off points for what we deem acceptable and honorable.

He's a married man in his 30s with a young child now. He can't be the Peter Pan Prince forever I'm sure we were all a lot more happy go lucky when we were younger, I know I definitely was

I disagree...I think Harry quite enjoyed it. He knew he could let his guard down a little and people loved his cheekiness. It was the Press he didnt like.
In fact Harry always looked like he enjoyed it more than William....and its only since William settled down with Kate that he has finally found his role more fulfilling...imo.

Which is why I think Harry and Meghan should have given themselves more time to adapt...but I think Meghan had other ideas.

...you dont lose your sense of humour though

[Ammi]

...William wouldn't be allowed to be paid for anything he speaks about ...I mean, he’s fully financed for being a Royal...but that’s the point, though...Harry stepped down from that so he does have to think of income also ...that isn’t betraying anything with his mother...

He seems to have lost his coping mechanism...he looks all the worse for having processed his grief, if he has indeed done so. Poor Harry. x

...well, he really does seem very happy and animated when he’s with his wife../..his family and that’s truly what I see and what he conveys...that they’re a couple who are deeply in love...(...but also having had huge changes in their lives over the last few years in the glare of lots of criticisms...)...it’s a huge life change but that doesn’t mean he isn’t content and happy, it’s stressful though to go through change...and as he’s said, he’s processed a lot in his later life../...or more recently I should say, he’s very young still...and the apparent closeness of their relationship to me, would also indicate how much Meghan has helped him with his mental well being...

As a post insulting me has just been deleted, I will bow out of this discussion now.

Totally agree with that. Harry had it made, all the perks without the responsibilities of a future King or as many duties to fulfill. No wonder he looked like the cat that got the cream and was able to get away with things that William ever could. His bodyguards and staff all say what a happy go lucky cheeky chappy he always was, not a deep thinker like William.

Meghan was never going to stick around the UK and soon found excuses to flee, she had won the lottery that would take her back to celeb land with her catch and make those dollars and get that bigtime fame she had hungered after her whole life (according to those who knew her).

Harry seems nothing like his former self, he's gotten a bad deal, methinks.

Really? To me he looks as if he's forcing joyfulness and he's a bit nervous....but trying to mask it...Meghan always takes the lead and often stares intently at him when he's talking and he often stumbles over his words when she does that. I thought he seemed more like himself when he did that video chat thing on his own.

Yes, if they really wanted to do REAL good WORK the royal family was the perfect platform.
Instead they have chosen to live in celeb land surrounded by the celebs who made up the majority of their wedding guests and who didn't even know them...with one guest from Meghan's family - her mother, who had to sit there all alone. Awful.

For instance, George Clooney was asked at their wedding how he came to know Harry and Meghan. He replied 'I don't, I only met them today'.

...yeah, honestly/really......I mean, there are changes in his life and his role, so that will obviously bring some stress factors as well with the adjustments...and they are new parents also, which is an ever adjusting and learning thing...and he’s aware that he has many, many scrutinising eyes on him..but with so many factors, he still seems comfortable and happy to me in all of the choices he’s making with Meghan...I really would like to see their future and family going from strength to strength...
