Prince Harry (37) has spoken openly about his experiences with burnout. He was “literally at the end of everything I had,” said the Queen’s grandson at an event on Thursday (local time) in San Francisco.
“Any fuel or steam in the boiler” was gone. “Like lighting a candle at both ends,” the royal said.
Everything around you then seems to be working against you. That forced him to look inside himself. It is difficult to find time for self-care – but this is very important. “Self-care is the first thing that falls away. As a husband and father, I freely admit that.”
Harry and his wife, Duchess Meghan, gave up their royal duties about two years ago and moved to the United States. Since then, they have repeatedly criticized in interviews considerable pressure from royal conventions and worldwide public scrutiny.
