Prince Harry deserves praise for speaking so movingly about seeking counselling after 20 years of bottling up grief over the death of his mother, Diana.
The welcome frankness of such a high profile figure will do much to dismantle the stigma too often still surrounding mental health issues. It will encourage others to obtain help instead of suffering in private.
It cannot have been easy for a young, if senior, royal, and a former Captain in the Army with two tours of Afghanistan, to be so candid.
Mental health remains a Cinderella service, losing out to physical illnesses in the battle for NHS funding. And despite Theresa May repeating promises by her predecessor David Cameron that spending would be increased, mental health services continue to be cut.

Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge deciding to champion mental health is a chance to transform attitudes.
Imagine the impact if this influential group spoke out against cuts and demanded improvements in services for everybody.
