As Harry and Meghan launch new documentary Heart of Invictus, it seems once again the Duke’s litany of complaints aren’t quite adding up

The Queen’s statement ‘memories may vary’ marked Prince Harry’s earlier claims, and now his latest statements are being scrutinized on Netflix.

CLAIM: There was no ‘support’ and ‘no one could help’ when Harry suffered from post-traumatic stress. He said, “I didn’t have that support structure, that network, or that expert advice to identify what was really wrong with me.”

REALITY: In 2017, Harry revealed in an interview how his brother had helped him after their mother’s death. He told the Telegraph’s Bryony Gordon on her podcast, Mad World, that Prince William had encouraged him to get therapy. Harry said, ‘For me personally, my brother… bless him, he was a great support to me. He kept saying, this isn’t right, this isn’t normal, you need to talk to (someone) about things, it’s okay.”

In his biography Spare, Harry also talks about his former private secretaries Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton – a no-nonsense ex-SAS officer who helped organize his second Afghanistan tour and whom he “trusted from the start” – and Ed Lane Fox , a former captain in the Household Cavalry, who had “a knack for getting to the heart of things.”

Sources claimed this showed that Harry was surrounded by people who had the right experience and were trying to help him.

CLAIM: Harry said the British media ignored stories of British soldiers being injured in Afghanistan. He said of seeing wounded soldiers in 2008: “I was angry that the media didn’t report it.”

REALITY: British military dead and wounded in Afghanistan were widely reported and made headlines. Reports have been compiled from official Department of Defense announcements, which include photographs and tributes from commanding officers. To this day, the BBC website still lists all 136 British troops who lost their lives there.

Many war correspondents came as close, if not closer, to the action than Harry, and paid for it with their lives.

According to the Committee for the Protection of Journalists, 79 have been killed in events in Afghanistan since 1992, with many more injured.

CLAIM: He complained that the British press was ruining his deployment to Afghanistan.

REALITY: In fact, the British media diligently kept his 2008 tour a secret. His cover was promoted by the American website The Drudge Report with a ‘world exclusive’ on ‘Harry the Hero’ and by the Australian women’s magazine New Idea. Harry tells in the Netflix documentary how angry he was that he had to be evacuated for the safety of himself and other soldiers after his deployment was announced.
