Prince Harry revealed during a paid-for online masterclass on grief that he experienced depression for two weeks after moving to Canada in 2019, before settling in the United States. He discussed feeling emotionally numb following his mother Princess Diana's death and how he struggled with processing her loss until nearly two decades later when a therapist suggested he use her perfume as a trigger to unlock repressed emotions. Harry also mentioned that after crying at her funeral, he did not cry again for almost twenty years.

Story summary
In late 2019, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, along with their son Prince Archie, moved to Canada as they began stepping back from royal duties. During a new MasterClass session on grief hosted by Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor, Harry revealed that he "slipped into depression for about two weeks" after the move. He explained experiencing an "adrenaline crash" when they left the stressful environment of the UK, leading to a period where he felt unable to function without adrenaline. The couple later relocated from Canada to Montecito, California, and Harry emphasized the importance of discussing mental health struggles openly, reflecting on his emotional numbness following his mother Princess Diana's death in 1997.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
