He described how the emotional aspect of being an East Anglian Air Ambulance pilot was"difficult", especially coming from the military where feelings tend to be put to one side.He said the ambulance world was"much more open" and he spoke about experiencing "very raw, emotional day-to-day stuff, where you're dealing with families who are having the worst news they could ever possibly have on a day-to-day basis.
"That raw emotion... I could feel it brewing up inside me and I could feel it was going to take its toll and be a real problem. I had to speak about it." In the BBC One documentary to be screened on Sunday, William speaks to footballers Peter Crouch and Danny Rose, ex-players Thierry Henry and Jermaine Jenas, and England manager Gareth Southgate.The Royal FoundationThe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry want to end the stigma around mental health

Thanks to Diana this is not a prince in a ivory tower but is aware of the problem of mental health and prepared to talk communication we can go some way to stop the number of male suicides.

He is 👑👑😍😍
We need ppl in the public eye to speak openly.Hiding dark feelings for fear of shame has been going on forEver “Melancholy” “hysterics” “crazy” “lazy” “insane” “whiner” “mental case” knowing we aren’t alone isn’t a cure, but it does help. Ask someone how they are doing. Listen
Be strong for your children sake ,even after loosen a parent. I understand that one perfectly. I can see were he’s coming from 💯👍🏻
Never wanted in his life 🙄
God Bless Prince William You honered your Mother Diana by doing so
He is one ugly mo fo
NicholasBrendon I think it's good that he talks about it publicly. Unfortunately, this topic is still downplayed or condemned. 'Oh, but I'm sorry' , and the people are gone.
Mauraannwalsh1 Who doesn’t?
Headline - son says losing mum was very painful. I'm guessing this is news because it's mental health week.
I also hate my mother and I will be pleased when she dies.
My father died when I was 43 and I was pleased, cos I hated him!!!!!!
Grief is a normal, human emotion and missing dear ones gets easier to hide as decades go by. However, it never goes away. Forcing stoicism/not talking about it or telling others they should be over void these Souls left, is definitely when mental health can suffer. LoveNEVERdies

Thank You to Prince William for speaking on the issue of loss, bereavement, and mental health. Your mother would be so proud of you.

If anyone in the world believes his wife is with him for anything other than a luxury lifestyle they are deluded. Ugliest member of the royal family
When is this showing? I’d really like to see this. I want to hear about Princess D.🙂

Is it true he's had an affair
Your mother death not an accident but murder
Lovely Man 💚
He’s right men need to open up about how they feel toxic masculinity is the devils own work & we need to put a stop to it men say how you feel there is no shame is saying “I’m not ok” 💕
CounsellorsCafe Prince William experiencing appropriate emotions to his situation is healthy. The British next gen leads the way. MentalHealthAwareness
Hi PRINCE WILLIAM! 😍❤️😘
Oh god yes it was sad yes we have all lost someone. But let’s not make it boring ah. It seems to be just an attention seeking hanging on to this to keep a story. Not all about Diana she is long gone now. And he needs to just keep it private and move on.
People laughing at him should think. He can't have a normal life. He has news media near him 24/7 questioning his clothes, looks, what he does etc...
grief is part of life
Yeah, finally, for as long as man has been around, until the rich and famous talk about it, no one else has ever realized this. What A break into the human psyche,,,,
JayneHardy_ Geez, some of the commenters on here are downright nasty. No amount of money in the world can heal the damage done by tragically losing a parent at a young age, much less in the public eye. Have a bit of fucking compassion!
'My job was hard' - is that why he doesn't work anymore?
Why is the actual article ‘mental health pressures’. Pressures is not the right word and it sounds like your downplaying the issue. Struggles is more accurate. Pressure sounds like you might struggle but aren’t yet.
This is a much needed discussion in the uk. No matter what you think of the Royals we do need to talk more openly. Male suicide is an issue that does not get enough coverage. It’s great that royals and footballers are also getting involved in this.
No matter the age when you loose a loved one the pain is the same I was in my thirties when my dad passed and the pain I felt then and now and I’m in my seventies is still very raw
Our society need to be more aware about mentalhealth. I know many people who think that depression is just being sad.
Could ask Prince William to look into the case of the child whose parent has just died and is being made to sit their SATs tests next week inspire of this 😡
BBCWorld Lloyds bank bsu Bristol and Edinburgh bullied and harassed me and forclosed on my loan facility after mental health issue
He's absolutely right! Its ok to button up at times but sometimes letting the hair down and communicating how you feel is a good thing!
I been fighting Mental Heath plus Epilepsy and just been pushed away makes me feel I am in a dark room with the door locked it been a long hard battle trying to find help the LOVE ❤️ from mom dad and family gave me energy to fight on it's very wicked out there
I'm going to start by saying I'm not a royalist. What we have to remember is when Diana died William and Harry were both children and their grief was in full public view. Now he's using the media to talk about issues that affect a lot of people, good on him
i know he's limited as to how far he can go, but it would be welcomed by so many to touch on the subject of ATOS/CAPITA and their treatment of our people. still that said welcomed remarks on a failed system is a start-hope the vile listen
No suprise. Its en vogue to be saying this stuff at the moment. I don't believe it one bit.
How fantastic is it that William is speaking up and sharing this. It will help so many people 🙏
Pathetic feudal PR.
Is there anyone in the public eye now who hasn’t had mental heath issues?
Is willie undergoing a gradual hair transplant, as most say, it doesn't grow on stoney ground.😎
This cunt will say anything stay popular. He does not care about ordinary people he is jumping on the mental health Band Wagon to get favourable media coverage to preserve the monarchy. If they care so much why do they take money of taxpayers when they can easily afford it?
Felt very sorry for them in 1997. But she would be very disappointed in his choice of wife. Though to be fair. ..I doubt he'd have married Middleton had Diana been alive.
Lost my mother in 2003 thought the pain was never going to end and i was 35 at the time . Despite my wife, children and family being wonderful no one could climb inside my mind to ease the pain them weeks after , Especially when i was passing her home morning and evening
Nobody deserves to have any kind of mental health issues stay strong
Go & see the parents of these killed
royal stories usually highlight stuff, but this, this is just wheel inventing all over again! FFS
Stop all this William. Do you think nobody else has suffered the loss of a loved one! You are so privileged unlike the rest of us.
What does this fella know about mental illness, silver spoon comes to mind, go live in our communities mate day in day out, DRUGS GUNS STABBINGS HIGH PRICES ELEC FOOD GAS WATER COUNCIL TAX NO POLICE ETC ETC ETC
Can only imagine what Prince William feels when every time he remembers his Mum, he also remembers that she was killed by his immediate family.
poor didums... a life of luxury of the taxpayers backs.. i get fkd of and down in dumps but have to get up at daft oclock to put food on the table and pay the bills...i aint got the life of Riley 😡😡😡😡😠😠
Family problems growing up, I guess.
grief is not a mental illness
Again..
WOW!
Non sense
🙏
I wonder how Kate's mental health was when he cheated on her
I wish the press would leave these two young men and their families alone. They've suffered enough.
Mental health struggles? It'd be more of a mental health issue if he didn't feel bereavement about his mother dying. Why is this being framed through the lens of mental health?
His constant bleating is affecting my mental health
Most men with a receding hairline will experience these mental issues at one point.
Poor baby can't handle losing all his hair?
