Prince William has revealed that every celebrity he asked to support his mental health charity Heads Together three years ago refused.
Speaking before the Davos World Economic Forum, the British royal said “a lot” of stars were approached, but none wanted to be associated with mental illness, according to a BBC report.
The Duke of Cambridge, 36, suggested that the wartime generation may have contributed to the stigma attached to mental health issues.
“For some reason, people are embarrassed about their emotions — British people particularly,” William told the gathering of business leaders. “A whole generation inherited (this way of coping). This was the way you deal with your problems: you don’t talk about it.”
The prince; his wife, Catherine, the duchess of Cambridge; and his brother, Prince Harry, founded the charity, which aims to tackle the stigma surrounding mental health.
