Prince Harry Discusses Lack of Support Following Afghanistan Deployment in New Netflix Series

Prince Harry has expressed that he felt unsupported upon his return from military service in Afghanistan. This revelation comes as part of a new Netflix documentary series centered around the Invictus Games, an athletic competition for wounded military personnel. The series premiered this Wednesday on the streaming platform.

Discussing the topic of post-traumatic stress disorder, Prince Harry revealed that his re-entry into civilian life in 2012 unleashed emotional challenges that had been repressed since the untimely passing of his mother, Princess Diana, when he was merely 12 years old. The Prince, who has had a turbulent relationship with the British royal family, stated that the emotional ramifications of his mother’s death were never adequately addressed.

Prince Harry conveyed his struggle, stating, “The largest hurdle I faced was the absence of a supportive network or expert guidance to help me understand my own emotional and psychological condition. Regrettably, for many people, the realization of the need for therapy often comes at a point of crisis, possibly pondering what could have been done differently in the past.”

The new documentary series, “Heart of Invictus,” follows a group of injured military veterans as they prepared for the most recent Invictus Games held in The Netherlands. Created as a counterpart to the United States’ Warrior Games, the Invictus Games were founded by Prince Harry in 2014. The event serves as a Paralympic-style competition aimed at motivating military veterans globally as they strive to recover from injuries sustained during service.

After Prince Harry and his spouse, Meghan Markle, withdrew from royal responsibilities in 2020 and relocated to Southern California, they entered into a lucrative agreement to generate content for Netflix. Their first series, a six-episode program examining their departure from royal life, debuted on the platform last year.

During a preliminary screening event for the new series in California this past Tuesday, Prince Harry took the opportunity to acknowledge the sacrifices made by military veterans and their families. He told the audience, “Tonight, you will have the opportunity to watch the first two episodes, serving as an appetizer for the full series to come.”
