In a documentary cited by the tabloid The Mirror this Wednesday, July 7, it is revealed that Princes Harry and William share an OCD with their father, Prince Charles. Explanations.
Tensions may be at an all-time high between the monarchy and the Sussexes, but Prince Harry cannot escape his resemblance to Prince Charles, his father, and Prince William, his older brother. In November 2018, the documentary Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70, broadcast on the BBC and cited this Wednesday, July 7, by the British tabloid The Mirror, revealed that the three men have something in common. Or rather, they suffer from the same obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). According to the Duke of Sussex, the Prince of Wales is “fussy” with the lights and spends most of his time turning them off.
A mania that Meghan Markle could detect in her husband and father of her two children. “It’s something I’m obsessed with as well,” Prince Harry admitted, “which is crazy because my wife says, ‘Why would you turn off the lights? You know it’s dark.'” To which Prince William‘s younger brother usually retorts, “we only need one light, not six!” A “key lesson” that Prince Charles would have passed on to his two sons in order to make them aware of the fight against global warming.
Indeed, a long-time environmental activist, despite the protocol that forces any member of the Firm to express no personal opinion, the Crown Prince has made a point of raising his two children by instilling in them the importance of biodiversity, more than ever in danger. Thus, the two men were encouraged to pick up litter in their youth, despite the mockery of their peers.
What does Prince Harry reproach his family?
But if the education that the two dukes received has its virtues, Prince Harry made it known that it also has its flaws. So much so that the husband of Meghan Markle does not want his two children to inherit it. “I don’t think we should point fingers or blame anyone, but certainly in terms of parenthood, if I have felt some form of pain or suffering, it may be because of the pain or suffering that my father or my parents may have felt,” he thus explained to Oprah Winfrey. He promised, “I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so I don’t pass it on, basically.”
