On US Veterans Day, Prince Harry spoke to relatives of soldiers in the USA. He also went into his own war experiences.
His time in the British Army is considered to be one of the most formative of his life. Prince Harry has revealed this many times himself. It pained him all the more to have to forego his military awards after the so-called “Megxit”.
Prince Harry talks about Army experiences
On US Veterans Day, the ex-royal and his wife, Duchess Meghan, visited an army base in New Jersey and spoke to members of the armed forces there, among other things.
The stresses and strains of working for the family were also discussed. The people at home, far away from the war, but also for soldiers themselves. Prince Harry himself spent ten years as a soldier on several deployments, often away from friends and family. And he emphasized how difficult it is for returnees to get used to normal life away from the army.
“My military experience made me who I am today and I will always be grateful for the people I was allowed to serve with – no matter where in the world we were,” said Prince Charles’ son and added then added: “But in war you also see and experience things that you hope no one else has to experience. These stay with us, sometimes like a slide show of pictures.”
Still his happiest time
It’s not the first time Prince Harry has spoken about his mental health. But contrary to what might have been thought, his work as a soldier is fondly remembered. In his Apple TV + documentary “The Me You Can’t See”, he told talk show host Oprah Winfrey that his happiest time was actually in the army. Despite the terrible war images.
“Because I had to wear the same uniform as everyone else. I had to complete the same training as everyone else. I started from the bottom like everyone else,” he said in an interview. “That’s where I felt most normal, and in my younger years I felt most comfortable in Afghanistan, away from the media,” said Prince Harry.
