Story summary
In 2019, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, along with their infant son Prince Archie, moved from the UK to Canada for several months before settling in Montecito, California. During a recent MasterClass session titled "Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss," hosted by neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, Harry revealed he had fallen into depression for about two weeks after arriving in Canada due to an adrenaline crash from the lack of stress he was accustomed to as a royal. The prince also discussed feeling emotionally numb following his mother Princess Diana's death and shared that he has struggled with his mental health since her passing.

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.
