Harry Gets Into His Groove

YOU need to cope with whatever life throws at you to become the best version of yourself.

This was part of Prince Harry’s first motivational message for the mental health company that gave him a job earlier this year – and they may well be the words he’s trying to live by himself.

Life has been throwing him a lot since he and wife Meghan exited the royal fam­ily last year. To many in the land of his birth he’s a traitor who turned his back on his heritage, his family and his coun­ try to serve his own interests.

To his supporters, he’s just following his heart, carving a life for himself and his family away from the rigours and rules of the royals. And becoming finan­cially independent and throwing himself into causes dear to his heart.

This was evident again when Harry appeared at a Vax Live charity concert in Los Angeles recently, joining a high­pro­ile line up of celebs that included Jenifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Selena Gomez and Nomzamo Mbatha.

The prince was given a standing ova­tion after telling the crowd of vaccinated frontline workers: “you are awesome”.

Harry and Meghan are chairs of the Vax Live campaign and the prince gave a five­minute address in which he called for Covid­19 vaccines to be shared with poorer countries around the world.

“We must look beyond ourselves with empathy and compassion for those we know and those we don’t,” he said.

It was the first public speech Harry had given since his and Meghan’s tell-all interview with Oprah and hopes had been high that Meghan, now nearing the end of her second pregnancy, would be there too.

But it was up to her husband to wow the crowds in yet another step along a journey of the cool king of California.
