Prince Harry is not "miserable"

In an interview with the Guardian newspaper during his surprise visit to Ukraine last week, he explained: "It is only in certain elements of the press where you see this talk about me being down or saying I am not smiling. This comes from people who think they know what I am thinking and how I am feeling. They are wrong.

"I think parts of the British press want to believe that I am miserable, but I'm not. I am very happy with who I am and I like the life that I live."

Harry went on to admit he's had some "stressful" times over the last few years - including a rift with his family and taking legal action against a number of newspaper publishers - but he's happy to have "support" from the "British public".

He added: ""I have certainly had to deal with some very stressful events over the last four years. There has been the uncertainty and stress of the litigation and finding out certain things that have really, really hurt.

"I feel a lot of support from the British public ... "

Harry was back in the UK last week and enjoyed a visit with his father King Charles for the first time since February 2024 and the royal insisted he wants to prioritise his relationship with his dad in the future as the monarch continues to battle cancer.

He told the publication: "The focus really has to be on my dad ..."

Harry also insisted he hopes to spend more time in his home country in the future despite a long-running row over his security and believes last week's trip has done a lot to help make that happen, adding: "Yes I would [like to spend more time in the UK]. This week has definitely brought that closer."
