Prince Harry Shares Emotional Moment During Speech About “Struggles”

Prince Harry is getting vulnerable.

The 40-year-old continued his commitment to encouraging open conversations about mental health during an emotional speech delivered to a group of young students in Canada.

“How many of you have felt struggles yourself and had to deal with it yourself without the help of family and friends?” he told the crowd at Seaforth Armoury in Vancouver while promoting the 2025 Invictus Games Nov. 18. “It’s important to know that when things get so hard, there’s always a way back.”

The British royal—who shares Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, with wife Meghan Markle—went on to call out the adverse effects of being on social media.

“Who’s on social media?” he asked as nearly everyone in the crowd raised their hands. “Who feels social media is a double-edged sword? That’s how everybody feels. Everybody feels the same thing.”

“We’ve come a long way to be able to talk about this,” Harry continued. “Ten years ago, even five years ago, it was considered a weakness to talk about these things. When everyone starts sharing their story, you realize we’re not that different.”
