  "account": "Prince Harry has revealed that the move to Canada in late 2019 caused a significant impact on his mental health. In a MasterClass titled \"Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss,\" the Duke of Sussex shared that a \"stressful environment\" from England made him feel \"useless around the house.\" Harry admitted to slipping into depression for around two weeks after relocating to Vancouver Island, stating he needed stress to produce adrenaline to function properly. During his time in Canada, Harry and his family experienced an \"adrenaline crash\" within days of moving, which he described as never encountered before. The Duke of Sussex discussed the move in the MasterClass, speaking with neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor. Additionally, the article reports that Harry and Meghan stepped down as working senior members of the British Royal Family in January 2020 and moved to Montecito, Calif., four months later. Canadian taxpayers had been covering some security costs for the couple since November 2019, but this ended in the coming weeks. The RCMP provided security assistance intermittently since October 2019, with costs amounting to over $56,384 for their stay in British Columbia.",
  "summary": "'It was myself, my wife and our son Archie, and we moved to Canada to get some space away from everything just to be able to think,' Prince Harry said.",
