Prince Harry's revelations

It is extremely upsetting to read Prince Harry's biography. This is because he has mentioned not being physically touched when he was younger. He discloses that he was denied access. This was to the fundamental loving acts of cuddles and kisses. These are necessary in most households to strengthen family bonds. 

This examination of his early years demonstrates how rigid and often restrictive royal customs can be, impeding interpersonal communication and emotional expression.

According to The Mirror, Prince Harry claimed that royals were always instructed to keep a safe distance from the rest of creation. He also claimed that they were told to keep a discreet distance between themselves and others, even when working in a crowd.
