The British royals aren’t exactly who you’d expect to open up about mental health and yet, they have. Harry, William and Kate recently opened up about mental health in a video supporting Heads Together, a advocacy group that works to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
The Royals Open Up About Mental Health
For the first time ever, William and Harry opened up about losing a mother at a young age. In this telling video, both brothers discuss bottling their feelings.
Harry was the first to bring it up ,” I always thought to myself ‘What’s the point of bringing up the past?'”
William commiserated with his brother, “It’s very easy to run from it, to walk away from it and avoid it the whole time.”
Losing a parent at such a young age can’t be easy, especially in such a public sphere. It’s nice to see these young royals open up about the stigma of mental health. Anyone who has lost a loved on can definitely relate to what these three have to say so be sure to check it out below.
