Prince Harry’s Mental Health Advocacy Takes Center Stage at Summit

Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at the Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco on Wednesday.

The Duke of Sussex joined Alexei Robichaux, the co-founder and CEO of mental health and coaching firm BetterUp, to discuss the importance of therapy and mental well-being.

As the chief impact officer at BetterUp, Prince Harry spoke passionately about his own experiences with mental health.

He mentioned his past life in the royal family and the military, revealing that he had never heard the words “therapy” or “coaching” until later in life.

Many have interpreted this as yet another indictment of the institution of monarchy for failing to take care of its principles' mental health.

According to some, it is an attack on the monarchy's failure to look after its own.

During the event, Prince Harry advocated for the reframing of mental health as a means to unlock human potential.

He also disclosed that he takes advantage of the coaching service offered by BetterUp, jokingly saying, “I have a coach.

I wish I had two.”

However, not everyone was impressed by Prince Harry's speech.

Royal fans criticized him for promoting a for-profit corporate coaching scheme as a means to attain wellness, mental fitness, and meaning.

Some even suggested that he needs psychological help and support, not coaching.

Despite the criticism, Prince Harry's advocacy for mental health has been consistent.

Along with his brother, Prince William, he set up Heads Together, a campaign to end the stigma around mental health.

His mother, Princess Diana, famously shared her struggles with mental health with the world.

Prince Harry's appearance at the summit comes just hours after Meghan Markle's latest interview was released.

The couple is reportedly living in fear of their public image getting shattered after an endorsement from the crown.

Royal commentator and expert Richard Kaye has stated that they are worried about their public perception, especially after the passing of the queen.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a certain pull in many circles, but the question is how wisely will they exercise it.

Their decision to speak out on the crown will surely have an effect on public perception of them.

In conclusion, Prince Harry's advocacy for mental health has been consistent, and his appearance at the Masters of Scale Summit only serves to reinforce his commitment to this cause.

While some may criticize him for promoting a corporate coaching scheme, his message about the importance of mental well-being should not be ignored.

As he continues to use his platform to raise awareness about mental health, we can only hope that his efforts will inspire others to do the same.
