....When you agreed, Harry, I winced. Because if there is one thing I know from my own greatest loss of a son it's that you can't allow festering to happen. So in all humility and friendship, let me pass on a useful metaphor to you both.
A friend whose wife was murdered told me that he was helped in his grief by remembering that in the trenches of World War I, most men died not of their wounds, but of the dirt that got into them and caused infection.
Whenever emotions such as resentment, unfairness or self-pity crept into his thoughts, he'd say to himself: 'Clean wound!'
I have used that clean-wound metaphor often. If some detail like the click of a camera shutter, for you Harry, reminds you of some awfulness, you face it down. You don't let it win.
Keep the wound clean. Keep the good memories fresh. Private pain or, as we often label it, 'poor mental health' is real. Especially in grief. But we can control it.
Twelve years ago, Harry, you made a speech at a memorial service to mark the tenth anniversary of your mother's death. It was perfect.
'She made us and so many other people happy,' you said. 'May this be the way that she is remembered.'
Not in resentment, not in fear and not as a 'festering wound'.
If the stiff upper lip fails you, you both have other things on which to rely. For one of you, it's the resilience of Army training and Army humour. For the other, a can-do American pioneer toughness. Work on those.

I am wondering if there isnt a Deep State set of realities within the Royal Family that have also make it harder for Harry to move on and keep the wounds fresh. The same forces that destroyed Diana likely still lurk in the palaces too. Not just the press.
Maybe Meghan is in fact the one rescuing him from the swamp so to speak.
She’s a mess
A poster here says Markle has hired 3 deep state Clinton people...
You’re delusional.
Meghan is a casting couch, social climbing, divorced slut.
Maybe they should just fire those 3 Deep Staters they hired.
Read the DM comments .
the brits hate this B rate actress / twiced divorced grifter who is so controlling she talks over the fool and finishing the poor slobs sentences .
The new Mrs Simpson .
She is a nasty / manipulative / controlling piece of work .
2 Americans, 1 Brit: Heather Wong, Sarah Latham, and Fiona Mcilwham.
Don’t pick on Wallis. She took one for Team America and did the planet a favor.
Also, I would like to point out what some in the UK have been saying. Camilla was hated.
I kind of admire a woman who could face the hate and triumph by putting her head down, doing her job, and overcoming it all. I think the public mostly accepts her now.
This sleazy grifter.
She has fired 4 PR firms because they hate her in England,
Every divorced guys nightmare ex !
She went thru Hollywood on her back .
“It is a shame. For the Duchess of Cornwall Harry’s stepmother is familiar with the dramas of royal life. No one endured more criticism than Camilla, yet she has built a remarkable relationship with the public who admire her quiet contribution to public life at Charles’s side.”
lol
They know a gold digger millennia lefty is bad news .
The entire England Royal Family stiff upper lip got them thru WW II .
They set an example and did not leave London during the air raids not even the kids !
They hate this twice divorced harlot / grifter .
I mean, how much worse could life get?
Sorry but while she may be a bit Hollywood she is hardly as sketchy as Jeff Epsteins dear friend Prince Andrew..and hasnt and likely never will do anything as embarrassing as some of the antics Prince Charles and Duchess Fergie have...
Camilla was never a publicity seeker.
“She went thru Hollywood on her back.”
How do you know that?
um. why would she be or have been? it doesnt take rocket science to know that involvement in such an affair is nothing to draw attention to.
kudos to how she has built good will since then though.
