Combat Stress and Heads Together – The Royal Foundation's

Harry, who spent 10 years in the British army and served two
tours in Afghanistan, is an active campaigner for the provision
of mental health help to people serving in the British military
if they need it.
"It is clear to me that many of the problems and difficulties
people face, both in the military and in wider society, all
begin with mental health," he said in a speech in March. "Yet
support for mental health has been an afterthought for far too
long."
Harry and actress Meghan married in a star-studded ceremony at
Windsor Castle in May.
