Prince Harry stepped out for a solo engagement last night in New York City, without his wife Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex, 41, joined Movember – the leading global men’s health nonprofit – to discuss what needs to be done for American men who are struggling with their mental health.
The discussions took place at the Australian American Association in New York City where a report called The Real Face of Men’s Health: USA from Movember was launched. Harry, who has been open about his own mental health struggles before, spoke at the reception, alongside Zac Seidler, Movember’s Global Director of Men’s Health Research, and Calvin Abbasi of the Andron Project.
The King’s youngest son, who has focused on improving mental health globally in his own projects such as The Invictus Games, said: “When I speak to men, the same struggles keep coming up. W hich tells me that the weight they carry isn’t uncommon. The biggest barrier is the belief that no one will understand. Loneliness convinces you you’re the only one, which is rarely true.”

The duke also said he thinks social media is one of the most pressing problems when it comes to mental health, with many men no longer seeking real mentors for help.
He also revealed that through his own conversations with veterans who are involved in The Invictus Foundation, which he set up in 2014, he has found out that silence “is killing people”.
The prince said: “I found myself speaking to many veterans and sitting down with them I realized the silence is killing people. Stamping out the stigma globally, we’ve come a long way. Access to therapy is still a massive problem.”
The new research by Movember has found that more than one in four men between the age of 18 and 34 in America have experienced mental ill-health in the past 12 months.

The duke has always been passionate about mental health and has even been open about his own struggles, especially in his 2023 memoir Spare.
In a 2023 interview with controversial trauma expert Gabor Maté, Harry said that he wanted to share his own struggles in his memoir to help others.
He said: “To be able to share the things of my life that I think is important feels good – to me it feels like an act of service.
“If we can encourage other people to be vulnerable themselves and be vulnerable to their family the world will be a better place.”
