The Prince and Princess of Wales spotlight mental health awareness on World Mental Health Day
The Prince and Princess of Wales have once again used their platform to support a cause close to their hearts. Their office released a touching video on Instagram, showing Prince William visibly emotional as he spoke about the painful reality of suicide and the importance of seeking help.
The short film, shared on October 9 to mark World Mental Health Day, featured the future king encouraging people to talk openly with family and friends when facing hardship. The video was accompanied by a caption introducing The Royal Foundation’s new National Suicide Prevention Network, which aims to unite organisations and individuals across the UK to reduce suicide rates and strengthen mental health support.
The network, supported by The Royal Foundation, will be chaired by Professor Ann John, a leading authority in suicide and self-harm prevention and Consultant in Public Health Medicine for Public Health Wales. The initiative seeks to identify the root causes of suicide, make help more accessible, and encourage collaboration and innovation across the United Kingdom.
Through this powerful video, William and Catherine continue to show their deep commitment to improving mental health awareness and promoting compassion in conversations about emotional wellbeing.
