Prince Harry | Royal calls for action on worker wellbeing after admitting to burnout struggles

Prince Harry has called on employers to do more to protect their staff’s mental health, after revealing he has recently suffered from burnout.

As reported by several publications, the Duke of Sussex, who has been consistently vocal about his experiences with poor mental health, was speaking during a live stream in his role as Chief Impact Officer at behavioural technology firm BetterUp, alongside the company’s CEO Alexi Robichaux and tennis star Serena Williams.

Harry revealed that he had suffered from burnout, explaining that he was “literally getting to the very end of everything that I had, any fuel or any steam in the engine just like I was burning the candle at both ends”.

He went on: “And it was like boom, that is when you are forced to look inside yourself, because with everything else around you seemingly, you feel as though it’s working against you, the only way that you could really combat it, the only way you can build resilience for the outside world and your entire environment, is the inner work.”
