The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have launched a new campaign to end the stigma around mental health.

Heads Together aims to get even more people talking about mental health than ever before and is the biggest single project Their Royal Highnesses have undertaken together.

A spokesman for The Duke and Duchess and Prince Harry said:

"Through their work with young people, emergency response, homeless charities, and with veterans, Their Royal Highnesses have seen time and time again that unresolved mental health problems lie at the heart of some of our greatest social challenges.

“Too often, they have seen that people feel afraid to admit that they are struggling with their mental health. This fear of prejudice and judgement stops people from getting help and can destroy families and end lives. They also believe that people need to feel much more comfortable with their everyday mental wellbeing and have the practical tools to support their friends and family.”

Kate Nightingale, Head of Communications at Time to Change, said: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have a unique position and it’s great that they’re using it to shine a spotlight on the issue of mental health. This is much needed – nine out of ten people with mental health problems still face stigma and discrimination as a result. While we have made great progress in improving public attitudes in recent years, there is much more work to be done, and we can’t do it alone. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will be able to connect with millions more people, and get more people than ever talking about mental health.”
