Prince Harry’s letter ‘tells you where his head is at’
According to a royal expert Prince Harry wrote an emotional letter to the family of a fallen military hero shortly before Christmas, which “tells you where his head is at”.
Nathan Hunt served in Afghanistan with Harry in 2008, but sadly took his own life in 2018 after suffering from severe mental health troubles, which his parents believe were linked to his military service.
Nathan’s parents turned to Harry in a bid to have their son’s name put on an armed forces memorial, and in a letter back to them The Duke said: “I deeply empathise with what your family is going through and so wish I could assist formally, had I been in the same role I once was.”
Speaking about this, royal expert Russell Myers said: “We have heard, certainly over the last few months and the last couple of years after Harry was stripped of his military titles, about how disappointed he was of that.”
Mr Myers said: “I think Harry really does get bad press some of the time,” but added “but when Harry is speaking from the heart, I think that that is to be applauded.
“And the fact that he reached out in this way by just saying ‘I deeply empathise with what your family is going through and I so wish that I could assist formally had I been in the role that I once was’.”
