[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe he wanted to get in front of bad things and tell his own story since so many false bad things were already in the tabloids - to feel like you have some kind of control over what people know about you.

For a rich aristo kid who was largely unsupervised by any parental figure - the drug use didnt' seem that extreme honestly[/quote]

You probably read in the book about Harry's visit from Mark Dyer who he called "Marko."  Dyer was a Welsh Guard who became an equerry to Prince Charles and who was a mentor to William and Harry during the teen years.  Harry still refers to Dyer as his second father.  You probably also read in "Spare" that Harry and William would  frequently visit their grandparents after classes at nearby Eton College.   They lived with Charles after Diana died, and you probably also ready in "Spare" that William and Harry set up a room at Charles home, Highgrove, that they dubbed "Club H" for Club Highgrove.  They hung out there and had friends over frequently.

Harry might have been a rich aristo kid, but he was not largely unsupervised by any parental figure.  What I find odd is that William -- who was in the same situation -- availed himself of the same therapy resisted by Harry.  He is under much greater stress, but he did mask his problems with drugs.  Nor does Williams seem to use marijuana for self-medication as Harry said he does his "intimate conversation" with Dr. Gabor Mate last Saturday.[/quote]

What are you talking about? You’ve said twice now that William “availed himself of therapy”. This has never been publicly stated. In fact Harry has been very open about getting therapy and his struggles. William has not.[/quote]

When William started "Heads Together" with Harry and Catherine, he said that he had therapy to cope with his mother's death.  In the "Palace Papers," the Queen wanted Harry to have therapy but he resisted.  He tried to self medicate at Eton with pot and then moved onto heavier drugs as an adult.  He told Gabor Mate in his conversation last weekend that he takes hallucinogenic drugs and pot to deal with his trauma.  He also told Mate that Meghan saved his life by strongly encouraging him to return to therapy.    He had tried before but thought that therapy would make him lose the memory of his mother.

William does not seem to have the same level of trauma as Harry, so he may not write or talk about his struggles as much as Harry.  [/quote]
