Sometimes there&#8217;s an obvious explanation, sometimes there isn&#8217;t. I think that idea that mental health crisis is temporary &#8211; you can have a strong mental health crisis moment but it will pass.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"pt-3 pb-4 mb-4 border-b border-solid border-[#333]\">\n<span class=\"&#10;after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t-[#333] after:border-t after:border-solid&#10;before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t-[#333] before:border-t before:border-solid&#10;font-article-heading pb-3 !text-base font-bold uppercase sm:text-sm text-[#333] flex custom-thumbnail-list-styles\"><br \/>\nYou may like<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The Prince of Wales also highlighted the importance of opening up to others, adding: &#8220;Part of feeling comfortable talking about mental health is understanding it&#8230; We need more male role models out there, talking about it and normalising it, so that it becomes second nature to all of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Host Greg James explained that the episode was created to &#8216;help people and get the conversation going&#8217;. Professor Green has long been a mental health advocate, and in 2015 he featured in a BBC3 documentary, <em>Suicide and Me<\/em>, exploring the tragic loss of his father.<\/p>\n<p>The Prince of Wales also went on to say that his three young children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, are always keen to open up about their feelings, joking: &#8220;Sometimes too much. I get all the details.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Which I love, it\u2019s amazing. Being able to understand it, have time for it, decipher it, sometimes you feel the sense that you need to fix it for everyone and that I find quite difficult. I have to remind myself that you don\u2019t have to fix everything but you do have to listen. And it&#8217;s important to be ok with those feelings and those comments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-NDFb8BsVutLtNJ8WycNdhD\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-NDFb8BsVutLtNJ8WycNdhD slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Celebrity news, beauty, fashion advice, and fascinating features, delivered straight to your inbox!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Additional information and support can also be found at the Hub of Hope, the UK\u2019s largest mental health support directory: <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hubofhope.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-url=\"https:\/\/hubofhope.co.uk\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\"><u><em>https:\/\/hubofhope.co.uk\/<\/em><\/u><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.marieclaire.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Prince and Princess of Wales have consistently used their royal platform for mental health awareness, spearheading the Heads Together campaign with Prince Harry in 2016 and creating a 24\/7 crisis text service a few years later.
