The Duke of Sussex spoke extensively about his struggles with mental health in the series, The Me You Can’t See, with co-presenter Oprah Winfrey. Harry described how he and Meghan Markle felt “completely helpless” as royals, alleging they were met with “total silence or total neglect” whenever they asked for help.
According to the Daily Mail, a source said Her Majesty and Prince Charles are “absolutely gobsmacked” by Harry’s comments on the show.
Sources told the publication the senior royal circle have perceived Harry’s remarks as a “personal attack on his father and the institution”.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Those around the Queen and Prince Charles are absolutely gobsmacked by what has happened.
“No one within the Palace circles has anything but sympathy for Harry’s trauma and troubled life, but there is upset and discomfort at him sharing it on an international television show.
