Prince Harry is hurting. Christians need to show compassion

Prince Harry has been vilified for his tell-all memoir, but Rev Canon Yvonne Richmond Tulloch says Christians should show compassion for a man processing unresolved grief

Much has been written about Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan. It seems everyone has an opinion concerning the cause of ’The Royal rift’. But the thing that strikes me most about his new memoir Spare (Penguin Random House) is the extent to which unresolved grief has affected him and his family.

Grief underlies this whole story in fact. We see it in Harry’s desire to visit the tunnel where Princess Diana died, we sense it in his resorting to drugs to dull his pain and we feel it in the anger he expresses towards his brother and the wider family – not to mention his own mental health challenges.
