Prince William joined a special broadcast of Radio 1's Life Hacks dedicated to tackling mental health challenges and suicide among men.
The episode assembled contributors with both personal and professional expertise in the subject, coming after The Royal Foundation unveiled its National Suicide Prevention Network in autumn last year.
Prince William's participation aimed to draw greater attention to these critical issues nationwide, with a particular focus on reaching younger audiences through the popular BBC radio programme.
During the panel discussion, Prince William said: "I take a long time trying to understand my emotions and why I feel like I do, and I feel like that's a really important process to do every now and again, to check in with yourself and work out why you're feeling like you do."
