Prince Harry's reported $100K deal for Princess Diana MasterClass sparks 'cash grab' claims from royal experts
Prince Harry has spent years publicly unpacking his grief over the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
But his latest revelations have sparked renewed skepticism among royal experts.
The Duke of Sussex opened up about how losing his mother when he was 12 affected his life in a new MasterClass course titled "Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss," which debuted Oct.
8.
In the course, Harry spoke with neuroscientist and grief expert Dr.
Mary-Frances O'Connor about how grief can affect the brain and body.
PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE FEEDING THE 'PUBLICITY MACHINE' DESPITE PRIVACY DEMANDS: EXPERT The Daily Mail reported that Harry pocketed $100,000, plus a share of subscription revenue for his class.
A source told the outlet, "I'd encourage everyone to watch it before casting any judgment," adding that he should not be criticized at length for "speaking from the heart." Forbes previously reported that most MasterClass instructors get at least $100,000 and a share of at least 30% of revenue.
The Daily Mail reported that a spokesperson confirmed Harry was paid by MasterClass but declined to comment further.
Past stars featured on the platform include Martin Scorsese, Gordon Ramsay and Hillary Clinton, among others.
Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell and MasterClass for comment.
Several royal experts told Fox News Digital that Harry's decision to repeatedly revisit his grief through books, interviews and media projects has fueled debate over whether the 42-year-old is profiting from the tragedy he shares with his brother, Prince William , who has largely chosen to grieve outside the spotlight.
