Prince Harry just shared the one boundary he says keeps his marriage and family life in balance: he never spends more than ten days away from Meghan Markle and their two kids, Archie and Lilibet. He made the comments on a new MasterClass called“Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss,”which premiered Thursday, October 8. According to Harry, blending his purpose-driven work with being a dad and husband comes down to that single limit.
The MasterClass wasn’t only about family. Harry also opened up about his mental health, revealing he slipped into depression for about two weeks after the couple’s move to Canada in late 2019. He described feeling like he couldn’t function without adrenaline. It’s a candid look at what those major life transitions cost him, and it’s sparking conversations about men’s mental health online.
Meanwhile, the royal side of the story is still evolving. King Charles III has confirmed Harry and Meghan will not receive royal privileges or use their HRH styles, even as the family settles back in England so Archie and Lilibet can enroll in a local school. So what’s your take: is a ten-day cap on time away from family smart, or totally unrealistic? Let us know in the comments.
