In recent headlines, the younger members of the royal family are taking huge steps toward mental health. While Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Meghan Markle have been involved in the advocacies, reports are claiming that Prince Harry is more engaged in these movements.
In a scoop made by CNN, a mental health ad has been released earlier this month. In it, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince William, and Kate Middleton speak about the current issues toward the matter.
The royals, in partnership with Public Health England and the UK's health service, launched a campaign, #EveryMindMatters. It has been revealed that this campaign aims to assist people who are suffering from various mental health conditions by charging them to "take simple steps" every day for recovery.
The first part of the ad features the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex. In the latter part, the voices of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are included. Their faces are not seen in the ad. But, the royals took time and effort to speak out through the material.
The publication noted that this is not the first time the royals, especially the princes, talked about mental health. As it happens, they've been very outspoken about the matter since their mother, Princess Diana's death.
In various reports, the two young princes have shared about their struggles following the unfortunate event. Many royal experts are convinced that this is the reason why Prince Harry is very focused on his mental health advocacies.
CNN also released a report a few months ago revealing Prince Harry's collaboration with Oprah Winfrey for a documentary series about mental health. The "multi-part" series is set to drop on Apple TV's platform in 2020. And it will be co-created and co-produced by the two personalities.
Oprah Winfrey, who attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding last year, shared in an interview previously that the collaboration started when she "conversed" with the prince. She asked him what issues are the most important that the world is facing right now. It seemingly appears that they've talked about mental health issues and concerns.
Alongside the new ad and the upcoming documentary series, Prince Harry also "spearheaded" the #HeadsTogether campaign. He initiated the movement together with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. It aims to tackle the "stigma" that has been evident since then surrounding mental illnesses.
Earlier this week, Prince Harry, once again, made a step toward the issue. As per Daily Mail, Prince William's brother discussed mental health with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, inside the Lambeth Palace during the archbishop's workshop event.
