In his new docuseries “The Me You Can’t See,” which he collaborated with Oprah Winfrey on, Prince Harry ripped into his father Prince Charles’ parenting skills.

“My father used to say to me when I was younger … ‘Well, it was like that for me, so it’s going to be like that for you,’” Harry told Oprah, according to Fox News.

Harry went on to say that Charles’ expectation for him and his older brother Prince William to accept living under the same pressures as he did “doesn’t make sense.”

“Just because you suffered, that doesn’t mean that your kids have to suffer, in fact, quite the opposite. If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences that you had, you can make it right for your kids,” Harry added. “Isn’t this all about breaking the cycle? Isn’t this all about making sure that history doesn’t repeat itself?”

Harry also claimed in the series that his family tried to intervene before he left the royal family with his wife Meghan Markle.

“Eventually when I made that decision for my family, I was still told, ‘You can’t do this,’” Harry recalled. “And it’s like, ‘Well, how bad does it have to get until I am allowed to do this?’ She [Markle] was going to end her life. It shouldn’t have to get to that.”

This comes a week after Harry said he wants to be a different kind of father to his own children than Charles was to him.

“Isn’t life about breaking the cycle?” Harry, 36, said while appearing on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast on Thursday. “There’s no blame. I don’t think anyone should be pointing the finger and blaming anyone. Certainly, when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain and suffering because of the pain and suffering that perhaps my father or parents suffered. I’m gonna make sure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on.”

He added that “a lot of genetic pain and suffering gets passed on anyway. As parents, we should try and make sure we’re doing the most we can. Like, ‘That happened to me. I’m gonna make sure that doesn’t happen to you.’”

Harry went on to say that while this has been “hard” for him, he credits his own “awareness” of his father’s life with helping him raise his son Archie better than he was raised.

“Suddenly, I started to piece it all together,” he continued. “OK, so this is where he went to school. I know this about his life. I also know that it’s connected to his parents, so that means that he’s treating me the way that he was treated, which means how can we change that for my kids? Here I am. I now moved my whole family to the U.S. That wasn’t the plan. But sometimes you’ve got to make decisions and put your family first and mental health first.”
