Prince Harry is opening up about his own "struggles" as he continues to stress the importance of mental health.
The Duke of Sussex delivered an emotional speech on Monday (November 18) while speaking to young students at Seaforth Armoury in Vancouver, Canada, as he promoted the 2025 Invictus Games, per E! News.
"How many of you have felt struggles yourself and had to deal with it yourself without the help of family and friends?" he asked. "It's important to know that when things get so hard, there's always a way back."
The royal also touched on how social media is often a "double-edged sword" that can negatively impact one's mental health, telling the students they are not alone in the experience because "everybody feels the same thing." His wife, Meghan Markle, has previously shared how she took a step back from social media for her own "self-preservation."
Harry spoke on the importance of having these conversations now, especially when even just a few years ago, many people were left struggling to deal with hardships on their own.
"We've come a long way to be able to talk about this," he said. "Ten years ago, even five years ago, it was considered a weakness to talk about these things. When everyone starts sharing their story, you realize we're not that different."
