Prince Harry revealed he experienced a severe period of depression following his decision to leave the UK with Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex described feeling a “crash unlike anything I’d ever felt before” after stepping away from royal duties. He noted that the couple sought a more stable environment, escaping what he called a “stressful environment” in the UK.
Harry’s comments came as part of a broader discussion about his mental health and the challenges of transitioning from royal life to private life. He described feeling “useless” during his time away from public duties, highlighting the emotional toll of the decision. The couple relocated to Canada in 2020, marking a significant shift in their personal and professional lives.
The move has been seen as a response to the pressures of royal life, including public scrutiny and the demands of royal duties. Harry’s openness about his mental health reflects a growing willingness among public figures to discuss such issues. However, the decision to leave the UK also underscores the complexities of balancing personal well-being with public expectations. The couple has since focused on their family and charitable work, though their absence from royal events has sparked debate about their role in the monarchy.
