The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are no strangers when it comes to changing the national conversation on mental health, but it seems they have acquired some help in the form of Prince Harry.
The trio have recently embarked on leading a campaign called Heads Together, which will be the biggest project they have taken on together.
The campaign will be the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon Charity of the Year, taking the title away for the NSPCC.
A spokesmen for Kate, William and Harry has said: "Through their work with young people, emergency response, homeless charities, and with veterans, their royal highnesses have seen time and time again that unresolved mental health problems lie at the heart of some of our greatest social challenges.
"They are passionate about tackling the stigma surrounding the issue. Too often, they have seen that people feel afraid to admit that they are struggling with their mental health. "This fear of prejudice and judgement stops people from getting help and can destroy families and end lives.
They want to help change the national conversation."
The team of charities working on Heads Together includes, Best Beginnings, CALM, Contact, Mind, Place2Be, The Mix and YoungMinds.
