Prince William: It Takes Me a Long Time to Understand My Emotions

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, made an unusually candid revelation about his emotional life during a public discussion on mental health and male suicide prevention, saying that it takes him a long time to understand his own emotions — a statement aimed at encouraging more open conversations about mental wellbeing among men. The future king appeared as a surprise guest on BBC Radio 1’s Life Hacks programme alongside host Greg James, rapper Professor Green and other guests in a special episode focused on tackling male mental health issues.

Speaking about his personal journey, William described how he often has to pause and reflect to make sense of his feelings, stressing that this process of emotional understanding is important and something many people struggle with. “I take a long time trying to understand my emotions and why I feel like I do, and I feel like that’s a really important process,” he said, adding that checking in with oneself periodically can help people better navigate difficult moments.

The Prince of Wales used the moment to highlight the broader problem of men’s reluctance to talk about their mental health, calling suicide and emotional distress a “real national catastrophe” partly because such topics remain taboo. He urged for more male role models to openly discuss feelings and mental health — saying that normalising these conversations can make it easier for others to seek support. William also shared practical advice, emphasising the importance of self-love and self-understanding as tools for emotional wellbeing.

William’s remarks come amid ongoing efforts by the Royal Foundation and partner charities to improve suicide prevention and mental health support in the UK, including initiatives designed to make help more accessible and reduce stigma through community outreach and national awareness campaigns
