PLATELL’S PEOPLE: Kate’s truth bomb about therapy not working for everyone

After enduring three weeks in which Harry bombarded the Royal Family with his ‘truth bombs’, the Princess of Wales either unknowingly or not dropped a little bombshell this week.

On a visit with Prince William to the Open Door mental health charity in Liverpool, her first public engagement since Spare’s publication, she said simply: “Talk therapy doesn’t work for some people, it’s not for everyone.”

The comment raised eyebrows in light of Harry’s apparent obsession with therapy. Not least because of his revelation that after William apparently broke his brother’s necklace and knocked him to the ground in a fight over Meghan, Harry immediately called his therapist to talk about it.

Whether Kate unknowingly dropped her bombshell or not, she’s absolutely right. While talk therapies certainly work for some, they don’t always solve the problem. And you should know During the low moments of my life I have tried several of them; some worked, most didn’t.

Talking did not heal my marriage or bring back my dead brother.

And from what I’ve seen of Harry in interviews and in his book, I’d say they haven’t worked for the distraught and vengeful Prince. The vitriol, the anger, the bitterness that he is full of, are not what you find in a person who is comfortable with himself. If he’s the poster boy for ‘talk therapy’, then God help those of us who seek help in such ways.

What I see is a deeply vindictive man, a narcissist, obsessed with his own feelings to the exclusion of others, reveling in an unrealistically high sense of his own importance and wallowing in eternal victimhood. You can see in his distrustful eyes that there has been no healing.

Why else would the Prince we once loved utter such bile against so many who should be close to him? His father, his brother, Kate, Camilla, all villains. He is convinced that he and Megs are the innocent victims.

Any professional will tell you that having a therapist on speed dial is not the way therapy should work. Healing will only come to Harry if he genuinely starts talking to his family. That would really be talk therapy worth having.

shock from the past

Great sympathy for Julia Roberts upon discovering through a DNA search that she is not biologically a ‘Roberts’ after all, as her great-great-grandmother had an affair with a married man after her husband’s death.

I was similarly shocked when a search revealed that the Platells were not French aristocratic Platelles, as we believed, but impoverished German pope-seekers who fled penniless to Britain.

Margot’s ‘fast’ fashion

Self-described eco warrior Margot Robbie is an active member of Greenpeace and preaches about the little things we can all do to create a sustainable future, even in Hollywood, like avoiding single-use plastic water bottles on movie sets.

Hooray for Margot.

I wonder how you explain your single-use pink Chanel dress at the Golden Globes, which took over 750 hours to make by hand?

She Wolf bites again

Pop star Shakira’s partner of 11 years and the father of her two children reportedly left her for 22-year-old public relations student Clara Chia.

Now the 45-year-old She Wolf singer has been branded a misogynist for beating up her young rival on her latest single. “I’m worth two 22”, she sings herself. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio.

Every woman retains the right to retaliate against someone who moves into her marriage or long-term relationship. That’s not misogynistic, it’s called showing eggs.

Not keeping up with Kim

As Kayne West marries architect Bianca Censori two months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian, close observers note that before she went blonde, she was the “spiritual image” of his curvaceous ex-wife, the reality star. .

Beautiful bottom, check; tiny waist, check; black hair combed back, check. The only difference is that Kim is worth $1.8 billion: checkmate.

How Tom Hanks Annoyed My Ted

My moggie Ted was distraught watching Tom Hanks bring his co-star Smeagol the cat to a red carpet screening of his new movie A Man Called Otto. Ted was distraught by all the strangers crowding around, by the flashing lights and the way they had dressed in black ties and stark white collars. And why name a noble feline after the misshapen hobbit creature in The Lord of the Rings? Call the RSPCA!

A study from Ohio University concludes that performing simple, random acts of kindness for others can benefit those suffering from depression, even something as simple as baking cookies for a partner. Too late for Prince Harry as he has no companions left.

Love Island fans are already smitten with farmer Will Young, who says the thing he’ll miss the most are his two little pigs who come to hug him every morning. Fear not, Will, there will be plenty of adorably cuddly creatures on the island, all just as desperate to snuggle with you.

For the waning band From the parishioners of my church recently asked to dig deep into our pockets to repair the rotten wooden floor, the news that the Archbishop of Canterbury has found £100m to apologize for C of’s historic ties E with the slave trade was a coup: and the reason I canceled my monthly direct debit.

Maybe there’s a method in the BBC’s craze for giving ISIS sweetheart Shamima Begum her own ten-part podcast. As much as we hate it, Begum will, in time, return to the UK and become a celebrity. Since she was happy to marry an ISIS terrorist she didn’t know, she might be on Married At First Sight UK. Or given her supposed gift for sewing suicide bomb vests, a judge in The Great British Sewing Bee.

After a reported loss of £66 million At her fashion and beauty empire, Victoria Beckham invites us to “explore the VB sale for up to 60 percent off key styles.” Since a black T-shirt is “reduced” from £990 to £594, she doesn’t expect a very long line of bargain hunters outside her Mayfair store.

Hot on the heels of her blink-and-you-missed-it movie Marry Me, which went straight to streaming, J.Lo is promoting her movie Shotgun Wedding on Prime Video. It is the eighth film in which he gets married. Perhaps with four real-life husbands already, she’s become addicted to saying, “I do, I do,” whether it’s with a trashy script or a fake husband (Ben Affleck excluded, of course).

the university of southern california has banned the ‘field’ world on the grounds that the term has racist connotations since slaves worked in the fields. Therefore, the excursions will be called ‘practice’, which means ‘a practical section of a course of study’. Should I feel guilty? One of my favorite movies of all time is Field Of Dreams.
