Prince Harry's MasterClass Sparks Profit Debate
16 Oct
Summary
- Prince Harry launched a MasterClass on grief, reportedly earning $100,000.
- Critics accuse the Duke of Sussex of 'grief grifting,' profiting from tragedy.
- Supporters highlight his efforts to raise mental health awareness and support charities.
Prince Harry's recent MasterClass, "Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss," has drawn sharp criticism, with some royal experts labeling him a 'grief grifter.' Debuting on October 8, 2026, the course reportedly earned Harry $100,000 plus revenue share.
This public exploration of his grief over his mother, Princess Diana's, death has fueled debate. Experts like Helena Chard suggest Harry profits from tragedy, while others, like Ian Pelham Turner, defend his actions as raising crucial mental health awareness.
The course, filmed in California in the summer of 2026, supports U.K. and U.S. charities for grieving children. Harry discussed his decades-long struggle with grief and how therapy helped him, contrasting with Prince William's more private approach.
Harry also revealed experiencing depression after stepping back from royal duties in late 2019 and how performing official engagements triggered anxiety and panic attacks, details he reportedly did not include in his 2023 memoir, "Spare."
