GMB's Susanna Reid slams Prince Harry for getting 'personal' and 'dragging people' into his mental health debate

Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has criticised the Duke of Sussex and accused him of getting 'personal' 'dragging people' into his discussions about his mental health.

"My issue with it, is it's so personal," said Susanna.

"I absolutely support him talking about mental health, destigmatising therapy, making sure it's seen as a brave thing to do to admit your weakness and not a shocking sort of shame.

"I just think that when you divulge all the reasons behind that, and drag other people into it, then actually you're impacting other people then."

Co-presenter Adil Ray said: "When Diana did her interview with Panorama many years ago, with everything that was going on with Charles, she went to the Queen and said 'what should I do?' And the Queen reportedly said 'I don't know what to do.' And Diana said: 'well, that's what you call help."

"We all blamed the Queen at the time. How dare you say that to Diana - we were on the side of Diana. That is Prince Harry's mother."

Guest Kevin Maguire, associate editor at the Daily Mirror, said: "When he says stop calling me Prince Harry, I do not want to be the Duke of Sussex... then I will believe that he's left the Royal Family and wants to put it behind him.

"He's not. He wants it both ways. He wants the tiles and the access they give him."

It comes after Susanna's former colleague Piers Morgan labelled Harry a 'spineless self-pitying twerp' after the Harry criticised US free speech laws.

An official trailer for the Duke of Sussex and Oprah Winfrey’s mental health documentary series was released yesterday.

The Apple TV+ series premieres on Friday May 21 and features contributions from singer Lady Gaga, Syrian refugee Fawzi, and DeMar DeRozan of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs.

In the trailer, Harry says in conversation with Winfrey: “To make that decision to receive help is not a sign of weakness.

"In today’s world more than ever, it is a sign of strength.”

GMB is on weekdays from 6am on ITV1
