In 2017, the Duke of Sussex sat down with Gordon and opened up about his mental health state and the trauma after his mother,Princess Diana,died 22 years ago — andhow he struggled to cope with the aftermath.
Speaking with the reporter once again in theDaily Telegraphon Wednesday, the Duke said, “When I did your podcast two years ago the response made me realize what an impact sharing my story could have, and what an impact other stories can have for so many who are suffering silently.”

He continued, “If the viewers can relate to the pain and perhaps the experience, then it could save lives, as we will focus on prevention and positive outcomes.”
Harry also revealed that he and Oprah have had many meetings and “are assembling subject matter experts” to guide the series.
“The facts and science exist and we deserve to know it all,” he said.

But despite coming a long way from the years of struggle following his mother’s death, the prince admitted to Gordon that hasn’t got it all figured out and is still embarking on his own journey.
“What I have learned and continue to learn in the space of mental health, mental illness and self-awareness is that all roads lead back to our mental wellbeing how we look after ourselves and each other,” he said.
