Prince Harry makes emotional plea for mental health support after ‘lonely’ UK trip

Prince Harry kicked off Nigeria tour with wife Meghan Markle with a heartfelt speech during their visit to Lights Academy school.

The Duke of Sussex reflected on the importance of speaking up for mental health and acknowledging grief and sadness as real emotions.”In some places around the world, more than you would believe, there is a stigma against mental health,” he began. “Too many people don’t want to talk about it because it’s invisible, it’s in your mind and we can’t see it.”

“But guess what, every single person in this room, the youngest, the oldest, every single person has mental health.

“So therefore, you have to look after yourself in order to be able to help other people, other people have to look after themselves in order to be able to look after you. That’s the way it works,” the prince added.

He went on to encourage the audience to acknowledge their feelings, including notions like “today is a bad day.”
