Harry as a child at the funeral of mother Diana: the most touching image of the new TV series of the prince

Prince Harry as a child next to dad Carlo in the saddest day of his life: that of funeral of mum Diana. It was August 1997. Harry was only 12 years old. Now 36, the prince wanted that image to flow in the trailer for the new mental health series The Me You Can’t See, which he created and produced together with Oprah Winfrey (airing May 21 on Apple TV +). They also appear in the movie Meghan Markle (without belly) and the little one Archie celebrating his first year of life on his mother’s lap.

And then celebrities like Lady Gaga e Glenn Close, who in the documentary, alternating with ordinary people, will confess all their frailties.

The most touching image of the trailer, however, is that of 12-year-old Harry, head down, in front of the coffin of his beloved mother. The choice to remember that dramatic moment does not seem casual. A few days ago, in the podcast di Dax Shepard, Harry said that “we parents, in front of suffering that we all carry with us, we should do our best to try to say, “You know what? It happened to me, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen to you ““. And his father instead Carlo it would have transmitted to him a sort of “genetic pain” evidently inherited, in turn, from the mother queen Elizabeth II and dad Filippo.

The production of The Me You Can’t See, however, he has already got his hands on: in docureality there is no intent to attack the monarchy. Its sole purpose is to raise public awareness of mental health and emotional well-being. Harry and Oprah, alternating with VIPs and ordinary people, they will confess their weaknesses to prove that in the face of depression we are all the same. Everyone will tell about their suffering and how they dealt with it. Because we all, as the prince says, “have a duty to understand that asking or receiving help is not a sign of weakness. In today’s world, more than ever, it is a sign of strength ».
