No stiff upper lip: Prince Harry wants folks to discuss their grief
Prince Harry: More talk It seems the stiff upper lip thing doesn't apply for a whole generation of British royals. Take the late Princess Diana's son Prince Harry, who was 12 when his mom died in '97.
Prince Harry: More talk
It seems the stiff upper lip thing doesn't apply for a whole generation of British royals. Take the late Princess Diana's son Prince Harry, who was 12 when his mom died in '97.
"You know, I really regret not ever talking about it," Harry says in a vid released Monday by the BBC.
"It's OK to suffer, as long as you talk about it. It's not a weakness. Weakness is having a problem and not recognizing it and not solving that problem."
The vid has Harry, 31, chat with several sports stars, including footballer Rio Ferdinand, whose wife died of cancer last year. The athlete speaks about how he helps his three kids deal with the loss.
It's part of a royal charity campaign headed by Harry, his brother, Prince William, and Duchess Kate to destigmatize grief, depression, and mental illness.
Odom's non-intervention
An intervention this weekend to encourage Lamar Odom to go to rehab went off the rails. Odom, hospitalized in October after a binge, has reportedly been partying again.
Ron Dock, described as "a certified addiction and recovery specialist," told the New York Post he prepared a raft of Odom's friends and family to confront the former NBA player, including Odom's ex-wife Liza Morales, his two kids, Destiny and Lamar Jr., and his aunt JaNean Mercer. (No one from the family of Odom's estranged wife, Khloé Kardashian, was present.)
Odom? A no-show. Dock says some Odom pal sabotaged the intervention by keeping Odom hidden away. The group gave up after a five-hour search.
