Prince Harry reportedly earned $100,000 from MasterClass for a course discussing his experiences with grief and depression following Princess Diana's death and his decision to step back from royal duties. A spokesperson confirmed the payment but emphasized that Harry was sharing personal struggles, particularly regarding his inability to grieve properly while fulfilling royal responsibilities. The article focuses on Harry’s emotional journey, including periods of numbness and depression, and how he found solace in feeling a connection with his late mother during difficult times.

Story summary
Prince Harry revealed in a new MasterClass session on coping with grief that he "slipped into depression" for about two weeks after relocating from the UK to Canada in late 2019 with wife Meghan and their son Prince Archie. Harry, now 42, stated during his interview with neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor that he experienced an "adrenaline crash," feeling unable to function without stress-induced adrenaline once removed from the stressful environment of royal duties. He also discussed feeling emotionally numb for years following his mother Princess Diana's death in 1997, only later realizing she would have wanted him to be happy. Harry and Meghan moved to Montecito, California, but recently returned to the UK with their children Archie (now seven) and Lilibet (five), after six years away. The Duke of Sussex was reportedly paid around $100,000 for his MasterClass session on grief and mental health struggles.
