When Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby found himself struggling with depression, he received help from a surprising ally — Britain’s Prince William.
The Duke of Cambridge is passionate about mental health awareness and is known for supporting charities that reach out to others in need. “I am deeply grateful to His Royal Highness for speaking publicly about mental health and hope it might encourage others who are suffering alone to seek help and support,” Welby wrote in a Sunday Times editorial over the weekend.
The 64-year-old credited the royal father of three with personally assisting him. “It encouraged me to seek help when I was struggling, help which was effective,” he wrote.
