An ‘archetype’ is a ‘universally understood term or pattern of behaviour, a prototype upon which others are copied, patterned or emulated.’ Throughout her podcast series of that name, Meghan Markle analysed and condemned different ‘labels that hold women back’: ‘crazy,’ ‘diva,’ ‘bimbo.’ Perhaps next season she’ll switch gears to assess her own husband’s pattern of behaviour. Welcome to Archetypes episode 13 where we will be discussing Stockholm syndrome, my special guest today is Prince Harry…
It’s an expression that has been thrown around a lot when discussing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — and it’s clear why. Prince Harry went from the fun-loving naughty royal, known for Nazi costumes, Vegas gambling and ending an interview early to jump on a helicopter in Afghanistan. Now he talks about nothing but mindfulness and unconscious bias. Even as early as October 2020, just months after Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals, Candace Owens tweeted:
‘Can somebody PLEASE pay Prince Harry’s ransom so Meghan Markle stops releasing these hostage videos?
I love you England but 2020 has been rough enough without us having to watch a Stockholm syndrome royal losing his soul to a D-list actress.
