Hazzy’s Controversial Career Advice Sparks Backlash
Prince Harry, also known as Hazzy, found himself in hot water after his recent comments on job resignations during a mental health Q&A session.
The Duke of Sussex, who now resides in California with his wife Meghan Markle, shared his views on people leaving jobs that do not bring them happiness.
Harry, 37, who famously stepped back from his royal duties last year, was criticized by royal journalist Daniela Elza for what she deemed a major misstep.
During the interview with Fast Company, Harry discussed the increasing trend of job resignations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
He highlighted the importance of self-awareness and the need for change, suggesting that leaving unfulfilling jobs could be a positive step towards prioritizing mental health and happiness.
While Harry's intentions may have been good, his remarks did not sit well with everyone.
Daniela Esler, a journalist and editor at the New Zealand Herald, penned an opinion piece criticizing Harry's comments.
She pointed out that not everyone has the luxury to quit their jobs, especially due to financial constraints.
Esler mocked Harry's career advice, likening it to seeking dating tips from Prince Andrew or driving advice from Prince Philip.
She accused Harry of being out of touch with the realities faced by many individuals.
Esler further delved into Harry's financial situation, highlighting the support he received from his father, Prince Charles, until a relatively late age.
Following Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from their royal roles, questions arose about their financial independence.
Harry addressed these concerns during an interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, revealing that he was financially cut off by his family in early 2020.
The financial details surrounding Harry and Meghan's departure from royal duties raised eyebrows, with conflicting timelines emerging.
While Harry claimed to have been financially independent since early 2020, records showed continued financial support from Prince Charles into the summer of that year.

In an attempt to cover the costs associated with their former residence, Frogmore Cottage, Harry repaid a substantial sum to the Sovereign Grant.
This repayment included expenses for refurbishments and rent owed for the property.
The financial intricacies surrounding Harry and Meghan's transition away from royal life added fuel to the ongoing scrutiny they faced.
Amidst the media frenzy surrounding Harry's statements and financial matters, comparisons were drawn between him and his brother, Prince William.
Elsna remarked on the stark contrast between the two siblings, with William's recent projects receiving positive attention, particularly his involvement in the Apple Fitness Plus Time to Walk series.
The differing public perceptions of the brothers painted a contrasting picture of their respective paths post-royal life.
As the royal family gathered for the Carol festive event at Westminster Abbey, a sense of unity was displayed.
