The royal family issued a statement after Prince William spoke out about a cause also close to his brother, Prince Harry’s, heart.
On February 18, Buckingham Palace shared an update on King Charles and Queen Camilla’s joint exit and the royal couple was joined by famous actor Idris Elba.
Alongside the photos, the King’s team shared: “@IdrisElba joined the King and Queen at Barking & Dagenham Rush Green Campus.
The university offers a variety of career and technical education courses to students. Their Majesties met students who participated in fashion, plumbing, healthcare and cooking workshops.
“The King and Queen also joined Sir Idris, an alumnus of the university and @KingsTrust, at the state-of-the-art film and television studios named in their honour.”
Notably, this post came after the Prince of Wales spoke about mental health issues and how much discussion about this sensitive topic needs to be normalized.
Additionally, William emphasized having more conversations about men’s mental health, which often goes unnoticed.
In October 2025, the Duke of Sussex joined Movember, the world’s leading men’s health charity, to highlight how men often suffer in silence.
