Duchess of Cambridge February Photo Challenge

I came across a couple articles on this this morning, but this one gives the fullest picture. Quoting the relevant bits:

‘Speaking to the World Economic Forum at Davis he said: “What was very interesting when we set up the campaign was that not one celebrity wanted to join us, not one person wanted to be involved in the mental health campaign Heads Together when he, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were recruiting support for their flagship campaign three years ago.

“We reached out to a lot of people and no one, when we started, was interested in being part of Heads Together, because it was mental health.”

The initiative began breaking into the public consciousness in 2017, the year it was designated lead charity for the London Marathon and in which Prince Harry revealed he had sought counselling for mental health problems.

“Obviously once we started getting the ball rolling, once we started showing people a lot more what we were going to do, people realised Katherine Harry and I had actually put our necks on the line here, that actually it was ok,” he said.

“Then some very brave people came forward, from celebrities and normal people who decided this was really important. They bravely took on the talk of speaking out about mental health.”’
