The Prince and the Psychiatrist: Royals ditch stiff upper lip over mental health

Prince Harry: "It is OK to suffer, but as long as you talk about it. It is not a weakness. Weakness is having a problem and not recognising it and not solving that problem."
He said the event was an opportunity to show that "unflappable" sporting personalities can suffer from mental health problems like everyone else, including members of the Royal Family.
"A lot of people think if you've got a job, if you've got financial security, if you've got a family, you've got a house, all that sort of stuff, everyone seems to think that is all you need and you are absolutely fine to deal with stuff," he said.
It's brilliant to see the new generation of royals helping to raise the profile of mental health, and tackle head on the stigma of admitting to depression and other problems.
