Prince Harry and Meghan Markle talk openly about mental health. They join the conversations, they help to end the stigmas that surrounds mental health and they open up the conversation for the rest of us.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made it clear that they are passionate about many things. For Meghan, it’s all about empowering and educating girls and women, while Harry is always striving to continue his late mother’s legacy with his work in Africa raising AIDS and HIV awareness and ridding the world of mines, as well as his baby (no, not Archie and Lili), the Invictus Games, and what it does for injured, wounded and sick servicemen and women.
Together, the Sussexes are devoted to mental health education. The self-care movement is growing and these two royals have been an important part of that. Harry and Meghan stand by the belief that communication is crucial and talking about it — and listening for and to it — is essential to help normalize the issue.
Here are all the ways Harry and Meghan got real about mental health and helped make it a regular part of everyday conversations.
