Oprah:
I asked [Prince Harry] the question, "What do you think are the most important issues facing the world right now?" and he said there are two.
He said climate change and mental wellness, mental fitness and mental health.
As you know, he's spoken about his own issues and what he went through after his mother died and how being able to talk about it has benefited him.
So it's a passion of his and, at the end of the conversation, I said, "Oh, I'm going to be doing this thing with Apple. It's a big concern of mine too and I want to try to erase the stigma," and he said at the end of the conversation, "If there's anything I can do to help."
Harry:
When I did your (Bryony Gordon's) podcast two years ago the response made me realise what an impact sharing my story could have, and what an impact other stories can have for so many who are suffering silently.
If the viewers can relate to the pain and perhaps the experience, then it could save lives, as we will focus on prevention and positive outcomes.
What I have learnt and I continue to learn in the space of mental health, mental illness and self-awareness is that all roads lead back to our mental wellbeing, how we look after ourselves and each other.
