While I am saddened by the death of the Park Rangers and all who try to stop the poaching in Africa, I do admire William because he brings it to light on the world stage. As an aside, we saw few rhinos in Africa and some did have their horn taken off to save them from slaughter. It's a hideous and barbarous thing to slaughter man and beast. I blame not only the poachers but those who use the powdered horns.
I second CF's hope that the BRF is starting to document meetings etc. with pictures. Good to know William is following up with the Earthshot price winners.

Great video of a conversation between two people who have suffered a great loss. Speaking from my own experience with this type of loss, what he says to her about the impact is so true. I personally rationalized in a similar manner. |

I'm 13 years out from the death of my husband. It doesn't go away, and sometimes I think all the things I did to help my kids didn't really matter--Grief camps, therapies, spending time with them, telling them about their dad, what he was like, his hopes and dreams for them, his personality, values. My kids have both . . . been a handful and engaged in very destructive behaviors in adolescence. One is 16 and one is 20. I finally have some hopes for the 20 year old, but the 16 year old is off the rails.
People grieve in their own ways and some people will learn from their experiences like William did, if you are the child, and some will just find themselves in an endless . . . cycle of self destruction, like Harry. Like my daughter. It's REALLY good to hear him talk like this to a parent. He seems to have cultivated in himself the best of both parents.
I wish he would publicize grief counseling or grieving camps or things like that. I think that is an area where he can be really open and it would work. Losing a parent is a great equalizer and feelings are very similar, no matter one's privilege or not. But clearly William tries to protect some of his privacy since he is a VERY public person and embracing his role so well, so I understand if he would not want to be more public about this particular topic. Unless it could be woven in to some early years.

I personally rationalized in a similar manner. He speaks with great authority, and you can tell he uses words he has learned through his own therapy. He has worked out how to use his shock and trauma to move forward with his life, to release the anger and to turn it into something good. |

It is a great video! And the post said it all between the difference between William and his brother. |

Paulina, sorry about your husband. But regarding your children, you seem to be tying their adolescent behavior to his death. But keep in mind, as traumatic as his death was to them, most adolescents go off the rails anyway. It’s kind of their job. As you say, your 20 year old is better now. Your 16 year old will be better, too.
Regarding William and Harry, I’m sure they both had self destructive behavior in their teens and some is documented. But now they both seem to be leading the lives they each want to lead, to an extent. Or at least accepted their roles the palace has provided. If you remember, William was the petulant prince for a while there as he seemed to not be keen on being King.

Wow, Hester!! How did you find that?? Thank you. So many of the same posters here. It’s comforting. You rock! And yes, Nap, you are right. Adolescents do push. Mine are extreme, though. So say the local capos, too. Ugh. Harry also seems extreme. Something is not well with him. William is ace, though, and it’s very nice to see. He has kind eyes. Back to Williams thread. |
