Prince William shares personal message on mental health and male suicide

Prince William shared his personal struggles and urged men to seek help, highlighting the need for more male role models and support to prevent suicide, BBC said.

  • On February 18, Prince William, Prince of Wales, joined BBC Radio 1's Life Hacks panel and opened up about his own mental health in a special episode now available to stream.
  • The panel paired Greg James with musicians Professor Green, Guvna B, Allan Brownrigg of James' Place and Nathan to discuss men's mental health and suicide prevention alongside the new National Suicide Prevention Network chaired by Professor Ann John.
  • Speaking candidly during the discussion, William said, `I feel like that's a really important process to do every now and again, to check in with yourself and work out why you're feeling like you do`, and paused after Rhian Mannings recounted her husband's suicide five days after their son's death.
  • William highlighted that asking for support is OK and organisations can help; listeners were directed to BBC Action Line for details, while The Royal Foundation noted suicide prevention's complexity.
  • William's advocacy aims to normalise men talking about feelings, with Greg James hoping the conversation will enlighten and comfort men and audiences, helping mental health discussions become second nature.
