This nitwit just can’t get over himself....my gosh he ditched his family in the worst way, on live tv and purposely. I’d never hire someone like him for anything or to speak about anything!

And see, Pelosi was correct. Everyone now has inexpensive health insurance and easily accessible health care that they can keep even when unemployed but pursuing their dreams!

Oh....wait!

Stunning that Harry thinks he’s experienced to address mental health issues. He’s just so detached from the common man.

Harrys doing the same thing Hunter Biden is......just in a different venue....raising money in areas they have no professional experience in. And both of these weaklings continue to play their victim cards....Harry the death of his mother and Hinter his drug addiction.

Prince Harry is FOS. He's the poster boy for White Privilege and his station in life cost many families blood and treasure. I don't know why he's here and at times I almost feel like he's been “installed” in America for future use if the powers that be have their way.

He once complained that sometimes he had to go do events when he wasn’t in the mood. What a loser.

How rough could it be when your grandmother’s picture is hanging in your commanding officer’s office?

When asked to elaborate Harry responded “Well simply get yourself born into royalty, or be like my wife and your vice president and sleep your way to the top.”

Your comment makes me wonder if you read the article posted.

The privileged prince, who lives in splendor in an £11million mansion, advised people who feel ‘stuck in jobs that don’t bring them joy’ to QUIT and said leaving work was something to be ‘celebrated’.

While everyone would like to work in a job they enjoy and which interests them, up and quitting one’s present job can bring with it a host of potentially harmful consequences, not the least of which is putting one in the desperate position of being unemployed whist competing with other applicants who have jobs. Not everyone has the freedom and luxury to easily move about jobs or change careers.

When one proffers advice to others they should think through the ramifications of such guidance in the context of how it might affect them. There are, after all, consequences in real life to one’s every decision and action.

The following people quoted in the article get this simple concept:

Rob Peters, mortgage expert at Simple Fast Mortgage in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, added: ‘If you quit your job without the means to support yourself, I am pretty sure that the stress of ‘where the next meal will come from’, might be equally bad for your mental health.’

And Scott Gallacher, director at chartered financial planners Rowley Turton in Leicester, told MailOnline: ‘Whilst I agree that none of us should be stuck in a job we hate, quitting without either a ‘stuff it’ emergency fund or a replacement job lined up would be foolhardy. Not all of us have a trust fund to fall back on. In addition to the immediate concerns of how would you pay your bills, there is the risk that if you get into financial difficulties you could damage your credit rating and therefore your longer-term financial future.’

The prince has led a pampered life and is totally detached from the realities that normal people face and ignorant about the myriad ways his advice may adversely affect their lives.

“Let them eat cake”

That’s the first thing that came to my mind. Harry Antoinette.
