Prince Harry received up to $100,000 for appearing in an online masterclass about grief and resilience.

Prince Harry received up to $100,000 for his appearance in an online masterclass about grief, according to both the Daily Mail and the Mirror. The 99-minute session, called Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss, featured Harry as a co-instructor alongside American neuroscientist Dr Mary-Frances O'Connor. The class was released on the MasterClass platform ahead of World Mental Health Day.

In the conversation, Harry gave an account of dealing with the death of his mother Princess Diana when he was 12, as well as struggles with depression following his departure from the UK in 2019. He described how he 'slipped into depression', saying he 'couldn't do anything around the house' and 'couldn't function without adrenaline' during that period.

MasterClass instructors typically receive an upfront payment of at least $100,000 plus 30 per cent of any subscription revenue generated by their courses, according to reporting cited by both outlets. A source close to Harry confirmed he was paid for the appearance and urged viewers to 'watch it before casting any judgment', saying the duke should not be criticised for 'speaking from the heart'. Annual memberships to the San Francisco-based platform range from £120 to £228 per year.
