According to Harry, who sensationally quit his job as a senior member of the Royal Family; job resignations surging during the pandemic “aren’t all bad”. As he discussed his role at mental health startup BetterUp, he said, “It’s a sign that self-awareness leads to change.”
“Many people around the world have been stuck in jobs that didn’t bring them joy, and now they’re putting their mental health and happiness first. That is something to be celebrated.” He added, “While it appears that the last couple of years have brought all these matters to the forefront, in reality, these problems and struggles have been brewing for a long time. “We’re just at the beginning of a mental health awakening.”
Many people across the globe are, and always will be, stuck in jobs that don't bring them joy. It's called paying the bills. Something a guy with his privileged upbringing will never be able to understand. He could afford to walk away from the role he hated, most of us can't.

Social media users responded swiftly with condemnation.
“Prince Harry says quitting your job can be good for your mental health. Yeah, Harry, I think you’re right. So what’s your address so I can mail my bills to you? Elites are so out of touch with average people,” another wrote.
Royal expert Dan Wootton called him “the king of hypocrisy” – labelling the advice “deeply irresponsible and reckless”. “Surely the worst possible thing for someone’s mental health is being left without the money to support themselves or their family,” he wrote for Mail Online.
“But, as someone who has never had to grapple with overdrafts, unpaid credit cards, or unexpected bills, that’s a stress Harry can’t even imagine.”
