Prince Harry issued a significant statement after his father, King Charles, and brother William seemingly sent the duke a strong message.
King Charles and William took part in a rare joint engagement when they attended a Cop30 Countdown reception ahead of November’s climate summit.
The King and Prince William appeared together after the Prince of Wales’ ultimatum to the monarch: “It’s either Harry or me.”
The joint appearance of King Charles and Prince William shows that father and son are close.
Following an appearance by the monarch and the Prince of Wales, Harry and Meghan kicked off the Healthy Minds Project’s fourth annual World Mental Health Day festival in New York City.
Prince Harry kicked off the morning’s programming with an introduction that highlighted the widespread nature of our global mental health crisis.
The duke said: “These are not separate problems for different people. They are intertwined harms to our global community. Mental health is shaped by public health, foreign policy, climate policy, corporate design and economic choices. Too often, decisions made by a few powerful actors impact the entire planet and every aspect of our lives.”
Prince Harry also noted that the digital world has “fundamentally changed the way we experience reality: young people are exposed to relentless comparisons, bullying, misinformation and an attention economy designed to keep us scrolling at the expense of sleep and real human contact.”
