The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry has decided to speak about the backlash he and and his wife, Meghan Markle have faced since the release of his book ‘Spare’
Despite doing little in terms of press in the run up to the release of “Spare”, the book has performed incredibly well on the market since its release. And one thing that stands out post the release of “Spare” is the backlash he has faced.
Well, the Duke of Sussex addressed the matter in a session with psychologist Dr. Gabor Maté. He said “I certainly don’t see myself as a victim. I’m really grateful to be able to share my story in the hope that it will help, empower, encourage others and hopefully let people understand that again, back to this human experience that we all are in some shape or form are all connected especially through trauma”
“I do not and I have never looked for sympathy in this. For me, the experiences that I’ve had throughout my childhood, throughout my life, throughout my 38 years, abeit relatively short … I’m not looking forward to becoming 40, that’s for sure”.
“But through those experiences and through the work that I have done for two decades now around mental health and mental illness, I’ve always felt as though sharing whatever I can of my story will help someone or some people out there” he explained about the reason the reasoning behind his book.
