Prince Harry’s recent BBC interview has sparked a wave of analysis, with psychotherapist and relationship coach Lucy Beresford offering a psychological perspective on what may have motivated the Duke of Sussex to speak out once again.
In an interview with The Mirror, Beresford explained that Harry appears to have been deeply affected by his feelings toward the Royal Family. “It all happened after Prince Harry felt ‘let down’ by the Firm,” she noted.
Beresford believes the interview may have been less about setting the record straight and more about staying in the public eye. “There is an element of him not wanting to be forgotten,” she explained, adding, “the associated irony with that is that he is the one who took himself away, moving to America, so with this interview for the BBC, it’s more about trying to remind people he still exists. It’s like he is saying ‘don’t forget me!’”
The therapist went a step further by suggesting that Harry’s mindset might be shaped by unresolved emotional issues. She claimed that the Duke’s “inner child” seems to have “hijacked his adult brain,” particularly in relation to his ongoing concerns about personal security and fears that “history will repeat itself.”
Beresford acknowledged that Harry’s anxieties may not be completely unfounded. “If it has already happened in your family, there is an argument that it might happen,” she said, likely referencing the tragic death of Princess Diana. “But as a grown up, you could probably make your own choices so that it doesn’t happen again.”
Still, she emphasized that Harry appears to be driven more by emotion than rationality. “His inner child is so strong that it’s almost like it’s hijacked his adult brain,” Beresford reiterated.
She concluded by unpacking what she believes to be the emotional subtext behind Harry’s behavior: “Kind of like to say, ‘no this would definitely happen if I don’t get the security that I long for, then really bad things will happen’.”
Prince Harry’s interview continues to stir debate, but experts like Beresford suggest that his motivations may be rooted not just in politics or publicity but in unresolved trauma and a deep-seated need to be seen and protected.
