Bryony Gordon for The Telegraph:
The thing that is occupying much of Prince Harry’s headspace right now is mental health. His own, of course, but also everybody else’s, and how much better life is when you look after it. It is the narrative that runs through absolutely everything he does, a subject he is so passionate about that he is currently working on a groundbreaking new documentary series on it with Oprah Winfrey, details of which The Telegraph is able to reveal today.
The series will focus on breaking down the stigma and shame surrounding mental illness – showing examples of the “human spirit fighting back from the darkest places,” as the Duke puts it. Alongside Oprah, he is co-creator and co-executive producer on the venture, which will launch on the new Apple TV+ streaming service next year…
It is a matter of great importance to the Duke that he gets this right – that the series is meticulously researched and based in fact and evidence, as well as being human and relatable, too. “When I did your podcast two years ago,” he tells me, “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.”

Invictus!
Give me a break (shaking my head)!
Pa: Hey Ma! Says here some prince and that billionaire fat chick want us to take care of our mental health.
Ma: Well aren’t they the sagacious ones. I think they’re right. Grab the AR-15s and let’s go target shooting.
Oh, the temerity of the unwoke 😂 (Austin Powers has forever reminded me of this scene every time I hear that name: “… and this is my lovely wife, Oprah.”)
MDN: Your site has just been used for a threat of deadly violence against two people, one of them a foreign dignitary.
If you will not take action, perhaps the FBI or Secret Service will.
Incidentally, the “some prince” served ten years in the British Army, including two combat deployments to Afghanistan. Since 2015, he has devoted most of his time to programs for wounded warriors, including the Invictus Games and multiple programs for the physical and psychological care of his fellow veterans. More recently, he has broadened his efforts to include civilians struggling with their mental health.
His father spent almost six years as a serving officer in the Royal Navy. His grandfather was a legitimate naval hero as a destroyer commander in WW II, and his great-grandfather was Mentioned in Dispatches for his role as a turret officer in the Battle of Jutland.
I could draw a comparison to chickenhawks like Cadet Bonespurs, but there isn’t any comparison.
Oh my! You sanctimonious poor pathetic humorless pissant. You have become a caricature of the of the ninny’s fools and hypocrites you so deeply admire! You’re like one of the rats spawned by decades of leftist garbage piling up in the bluest of cities. You even make AOC look sentient. Look at you shaking your little rat fist, calling for a government clamp down on speech. So cute! Are you wearing your little Hugo Boss dress uniform? Begone fascist rodent. We buried your type over 70 years ago. Freedom is making a come back!
I am genuinely sorry that your envy of people who have decided to devote their energies to helping others has so obviously unhinged you. That is your problem, not mine, Ms. Winfrey’s, or the Duke’s. Hint: Greed is NOT good.
Wow.
Apple TV + Crap
Good grief. Spare us, Harry.
