Prince William and Prince Harry have long been part of the conversation surrounding mental health, and on Friday, October 10, the brothers are both addressing the devastating—and growing—mental health crisis around the world. During their visit to NYC, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the Project Healthy Minds Gala and World Mental Health Day Festival, while Prince William teared up in an emotional film announcing a new suicide prevention initiative from The Royal Foundation.
