Junior Andre, 20, has emotionally opened up about the relentless abuse and disgusting comments his disabled brother, Harvey, receives online. In an emotional moment during the latest episode of The Princess Diaries, Junior spoke out against the online trolls who target Harvey, who suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism, and blindness. 👊
In the heart-wrenching clip, Junior, alongside his sister Princess Andre, 18, and Harvey, 23, went on a wholesome day out to see the trains—a favorite of Harvey’s. But behind the smiles, Junior reflected on the tragic abuse Harvey faces due to his disability. 💔
A Family’s Silent Struggle 💥
Junior explained, “Harvey is the best person, so it’s sad when people have horrible things to say. He gets so many abusive disgusting comments online. And he can’t even defend himself. The good thing is he won’t read it. But for those around him, it’s not nice at all.” 💔
Princess, who has been taking on more responsibility for Harvey since he started attending a residential school, added her perspective: “A few years ago, me and Junior would not have been able to take Harvey out without mum being there. Now he’s gone to a residential school, I feel like he’s been disciplined a lot more.”
The Bond That Heals 💖
Princess shared that they have learned how to support Harvey’s emotional triggers, saying, “Some of his triggers when we are out are like doors banging, or if there’s no food or anything.” Junior, who has always been there for his brother, explained that he’s better at handling the physical side, while Princess excels in calming Harvey through talking. Together, the siblings make a strong team, helping Harvey navigate the world in the best way possible.
Princess’ Relationship Guard is Up 💔
The episode also touched on Princess Andre’s personal life as she spoke about her difficulties with dating and keeping her guard up due to her mother’s tumultuous relationships. “I think about my mum… she’s had so many people do her wrong, it’s an eye-opener,” Princess shared. “So my guard is up. I don’t want another relationship yet.” 👑
A Family That Sticks Together 💪
Through all the struggles, the Andre siblings remain a tight-knit family, navigating life’s challenges with strength, love, and unwavering support for one another. And for fans who’ve followed their journey, the bond between Junior, Princess, and Harvey is truly heartwarming.
