Speaking about mental health is very important to Prince Harry. In a new trailer for his show, The Me You Can't See, the red-headed royal is seen baring his soul to pal Oprah Winfrey about the topic.
"All over the world people are in some kind of mental, psychological, emotional pain," Oprah says, referring to words associated with mental health. "Being able to say, 'This is what happened what happened to me,' is crucial."
"To make that decision to receive help is not a sign of weakness. In today's world, more than ever, it is a sign of strength," Harry — who had to deal with his mother Princess Diana's death when he was just 12 years old — adds.
In the clip, Harry was seen alongside his father, Prince Charles, as his mother's casket passes on the day of funeral, which occurred in 1997. "Treating people with dignity is the first act," a voiceover says,
Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, also makes a cameo, wearing a "Raising the Future" T-shirt as she looks over Harry's shoulder.
"The results of this year will be felt for decades," Harry says as a video of Meghan reading to their son, Archie, is shown. "By kids, families, husbands, wives – everybody."
Hollywood stars such as Glenn Close, Lady Gaga, Zak Williams and more detail their mental health struggles in the TV series.
The trailer comes after Harry, 36, spoke to Dax Shepard about wanting to leave the royal family at a young age.
"It’s the job, right. Grin and bear it. In my early 20s, it was a case of, I don’t want this job, I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be doing this," Harry revealed. "Look at what it did to my mom. How am I ever going to settle down and have a wife and a family when I know it’s going to happen?"
"Because I have seen behind the curtain, I have seen the business model. I know how this operation runs and how it works. I don’t want to be part of this," he added.
"Featuring high-profile guests, alongside a wide range of people from across the globe living with the challenges of mental health issues and addressing their emotional well-being, the series transcends culture, age, gender, and socioeconomic status to destigmatize a highly misunderstood subject and give hope to viewers who learn that they are not alone," the official description reads about the television show.
The Me You Can't See premieres on Apple TV+ on May 21.
