Oprah close to tears in chat with Gayle King and reveals Prince Harry volunteered for bombshell interview
OPRAH Winfrey held back tears this morning as she spoke to Gayle King and revealed that it was Prince Harry who volunteered to appear in her bombshell documentary.
In the Apple TV doc, the Me You Can’t See, The Duke of Sussex opened up to the talk show host about his struggles with his mental well-being following the death of Princess Diana.
Prince Harry launched blistering attacks on his close relatives as he admitted to past drug use and booze binges to escape from his anguish.
He says: "My father used to say to me when I was younger, he used to say to both and I, 'Well, it was like that for me so it’s going to be like that for you.'
"That doesn’t make sense. Just because you suffered, that doesn’t mean your kids have to suffer. Actually quite the opposite.
"If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences you had, you can make it right for your kids."
He said: "I'm freaking out every single time I jump in the car or see a camera. I would just start sweating."
The Duke also spoke about his and a haunting memory he has of her driving him as a boy and being chased by several paparazzi on mopeds.
He said: "She was almost unable to drive because of the tears. There was no protection."
The series also features special guests talking about their own mental health experiences, including Lady Gaga and Glenn Close.
The episodes tackle different topics related to mental health, such as not being afraid to ask for help, finding what works for you, and finding the right community to heal.
