Prince William was visibly emotional during a powerful and deeply personal conversation about the devastating impact of suicide with a bereaved wife.
In a new eight-minute film, released on World Mental Health Day on Friday, October 10, the Prince of Wales sat down with Rhian Manning over tea and Welsh cakes.
“In 2012, Rhian’s one-year-old son died suddenly. Five days later, her husband Paul tragically took his own life,” the prince wrote on his joint Instagram account with the Princess of Wales.
The caption further revealed, “Today, on World Mental Health Day, The Royal Foundation is launching a new National Suicide Prevention Network, which is uniting charities across the four home nations to transform suicide prevention in the UK.”
