Prince Harry has opened up about being coaxed to rebel against his family by Iraqi leaders ahead of his deployment to the country’s war zone. According to Harry, he was provoked to act like his late mother, Princess Diana, by insurgent leaders who urged him to break away from his family and rebel against the imperialists.
In his new memoir “The Crown Prince,” Harry recalls the details of the incident and reveals how the insurgent leader invoked his mother’s name to encourage him to take a stand. The prince writes, “Or else, he warned, a prince’s ‘blood will flow into our desert.'”
Harry has always been outspoken about his struggles with mental health and has previously admitted to seeking therapy. He has also spoken out about the impact of his mother’s death on him and his brother, Prince William.
In his memoir, Harry reveals how he was stopped from going to Iraq by British intelligence forces, who predicted a grave threat for the prince. He writes, “I felt very resentful that I wasn’t allowed to go, and also very guilty because of all the men and women that are there fighting.”
Harry’s memoir has been a topic of discussion since its announcement, and its release is expected to shed more light on his life as a member of the royal family and his decision to step away from his royal duties.
