Prince William fought back tears as he shared an emotional dialogue in a heartbreaking new film aimed at tackling suicide across Britain. <\/p>\n

The movie has been released on World Mental Health Day as part of a new initiative, The Royal Foundation’s National Suicide Prevention Network. <\/p>\n\n

\n

In the film, t<\/span>he Prince of Wales met with Rhian Mannings MBE at her Cardiff home for a deeply personal conversation about suicide. <\/p>\n

The pair first met in 2017, where Mrs Mannings shared the devastating experience of losing both her son and husband. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The mother of two was fa<\/span>ced heartbreak in 2012 when her baby, George, died suddenly from an undetected illness at just one year old. <\/p>\n

Tragedy struck again fi<\/span>ve days later when her husband Paul took his own life. <\/p>\n

Following the life changing events, <\/span>Mrs Mannings found strength in helping others avoid the same devastating experience through her charity 2wish – for which she was awarded an MBE in 2019. <\/p>\n

William<\/span>\u2019s new film documents their second meeting, where both spoke candidly over tea and cake the campaigner\u2019s mother had prepared for him. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mrs Mannings and William began their discussion as she made t<\/span>he tea, revealing that her two children are \u201cflourishing\u201d – including that her son now plays rugby in the same position as his late father. <\/p>\n

As the pair sat down, they discussed the devastating impact of George and Paul\u2019s deaths and what the widow might say to her husband if she could speak to him today. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere was only thing <\/span>I\u2019d say to him if I had the time with him, which would be: \u2018why didn\u2019t you speak to me?\u2019 I ask myself that every single day,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI<\/span> would just like to sit him down, like this, and say \u2018why didn\u2019t you come to me?\u2019 Because you\u2019ve missed out on just so much joy and we would have been okay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the hardest thing… we would have been okay,\u201d <\/span>the mother of two continued. <\/p>\n

Her comm<\/span>ent evidently moved William, who looked away and cupped his mouth. <\/p>\n

The <\/span>Prince appeared to hold back tears, his eyes reddened, before turning back to Mrs Mannings. <\/p>\n

William, touching <\/span>Mrs Mannings hand, as he admitted it was hard to ask her questions of that nature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She <\/span>empathised, telling the future King: \u201cYou\u2019ve experienced loss yourself.\u201d <\/p>\n

Their conversion highlights the key themes of the <\/span>The Royal Foundation\u2019s new project. <\/p>\n

Mrs Mannings <\/span>charity, 2wish, supports bereaved families who have lost children or young adults up to age 25. <\/p>\n

It will be included in the new network of organisations helping <\/span>deliver lasting change in how suicide is understood and prevented across the four nations of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The film forms part of a new project from the future King and Royal Foundation to address suicide in the UK<\/p>\n

\n

The Royal Foundation has committed over \u00a31million to the new initiative<\/span> to provide accessible support and foster greater collaboration, innovation<\/span> and action on suicide. <\/p>\n

Prince William said of the project: \u201cThe incredible partners who form this network reach <\/span>those at risk of, or affected by, suicide with their inspirational work. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have had the privilege of <\/span>meeting all of the founding partners to see firsthand their powerful community-based efforts to offer hope and support to those who need it most. <\/p>\n

\u201cTheir efforts reaffirm the urgent mission of the National Suicide <\/span>Prevention Network: to build a bold, unified national response to the heartbreaking, and preventable, tragedy of suicide,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The four leading charities, across the four nations, are: James\u2019s Place in England, <\/span>Mikeysline in Scotland, the Jac Lewis Foundation in Wales and Pips Suicide Prevention Ireland in Northern Ireland. <\/p>\n

Anyone who is in emotional distress, struggling to cope or at risk of suicide can call the Samaritans anonymously for free from a UK phone on 116 123 or go to samaritans.org.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
