98% of People Will Not Watch Prince Harry’s Mental Health Series with Oprah Winfrey
Prince Harry's latest project, aimed at breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illnesses, is not garnering much attention from the public.
According to an exclusive Express.co.uk survey, 98% of respondents said they would not be setting time aside to view the series, despite supporting efforts to raise awareness about mental health issues.
In the emotional trailer released for the Apple Plus series, the Queen's grandson hinted at the trauma he suffered when his mother Princess Diana passed away in 1997.
The clip shows a 12-year-old Harry at the somber funeral looking on as his mother's casket is carried away.
In the series, Harry tells Oprah that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength, especially in today's world.
The series comes after Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah, where he revealed that an unnamed member of his family had made racist comments about his son.

He also claimed that his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls after Meghan and the royal family severed financial support for him, Meghan, and Archie.
Despite these revelations, many viewers felt that Oprah failed to hold the Sussexes accountable for their actions during the 90-minute documentary.
Following the tell-all, it seems that many royal fans have little appetite for another round of Oprah and Harry.
In the poll conducted by Express.co.uk, 98% of respondents said they would not watch Prince Harry's TV series with Oprah Winfrey, while only 2% said they would.
Almost 1% said they didn't know.
Many readers who participated in the poll explained their reasons for not watching the series.
Some felt that Harry and Meghan have yet to be taken to task by any of their interviewers, and that Oprah served as an enabler for them to publicly criticize the royal family with no limits.
Others predicted that Harry would use the segments to blame others for his problems, rather than taking responsibility for his past and present mistakes.
Even those who advocate for accessing mental health services expressed their disinterest in the series.
One reader questioned why Harry and Oprah could not donate their own money to help finance countries' mental health services instead of spending cash on producing the program.
Another said the trailer for the series was painful enough to watch and they did not intend on watching any episodes.
In conclusion, it seems that Prince Harry's mental health series with Oprah Winfrey is not generating much interest from the public.
Despite efforts to raise awareness about mental health issues, many viewers are not willing to tune in, citing a lack of accountability and a dislike for the interviewing style of Oprah.
