Prince Harry 'paid up to £75k' for talk revealing he was depressed after leaving UK

Prince Harry 'paid up to £75k' for talk revealing he was depressed after leaving UK Prince Harry appeared in a conversation about grief on the Masterclass platform ahead of World Mental Health Day where he revealed his struggles Prince Harry could have been paid up to $100,000 for his talk on mental health where he revealed his depression, it had been claimed. The Duke of Sussex made the admission that he had “slipped into depression” after fleeing the UK in 2019, in a conversation with neuroscientist Dr Mary-Frances O’Connor about grief and resilience on the Masterclass platform, which has been released ahead of World Mental Health Day on Saturday. The session, called Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss, was featured on the video learning streaming platform where annual memberships range from £120 to £228- per-year. A source close to Harry confirmed he had been paid but said exact details are not discussed. They added: “I’d encourage everyone to watch it before casting any judgment” and said the duke should not be criticised for “speaking from the heart”. He may have received $100,000 (£75,700) for the session plus a share of subscription revenues to the online platform, claims the Daily Mail. The Hollywood Reporter previously said instructors on the platform make about $100,000 up front and get 30 per cent of the revenue their classes generate. It comes as Harry said in the conversation that he “couldn't do anything around the house and “couldn’t function without adrenaline” after he and Meghan moved to Canada at the end of 2019 - just weeks before announcing their dramatic decision to step down as working royals in 2020. The Sussexes relocated to Canada when Archie was a baby at the end of 2019, following a tense tour of Southern Africa where the pair both publicly spoke about their difficulties about life in the Royal Family, and Harry first spoke about his feud with brother, Prince William. In the conversation, he describes how he experienced an “adrenaline crash” and says: “We moved to Canada to get some space away from everything, just to be able to think. “Being in Canada, away from the stressful environment where presumably my body was just pumped full of adrenaline, within two or three days, I experienced this adrenaline crash, something that I’d never experienced before. “It was as if I needed stress in order to get the adrenaline to make my brain function because I became useless around the house. I actually slipped into depression for about two weeks, and I felt like I couldn’t function without adrenaline.” The prince also added how carrying out royal engagements has caused him “absolute panic” from putting on a suit to travelling to visits and hearing the clicks of cameras. Elsewhere in the online conversation, filmed in California before his move back to Britain, he also speaks of his torment at feeling like he "had to be sad" in order to prove to his late mother, Princess Diana, that he missed her. Harry was just 12 when Diana died in a car crash in Paris at the age of just 36. He tells Dr O’Connor that he forgot the sound of her laugh and voice and eventually used her perfume to ‘unlock’ memories of her. And he also admitted that he spent many years “emotionally numb” as nobody told him “joy was still allowed”. And in a deeply personal moment, he said: “It took me a long time to find my path to resilience. I didn’t cry when I was told my mom died, only at her burial, and then not again for nearly two decades. “I was convinced that was strength, but it wasn’t. I was a 12-year-old boy with no permission to fall apart and no roadmap for how to heal.”
