Correct me if I’m wrong - but I didn’t hear him say “I” once. He focused on them and kept saying “we”. You Brits should be very protective of this guy - he shows the best of you.
🤜🤛
The Royals shine the light on others, not on themselves. So whenever they perform their duties they will always ensure the cause is the highlight.

We have and always are very proud of him and his lovely family.
The RF are diplomatic public servants, that is their role and one the Queen pledged her life to. William made the same pledge to make his mother proud. Unlike others who complain no one asks them how they are doing.
For someone who endured the same tragedy as his brother, he has grown into a very balanced individual. He is so mature and endearing. I admire him and his family
Well said. HRH is a credit to his parents, grandparents, and to all of us looking on. I can remember the day he was born. Such joy and hope. Never could I have imagined the amazing man he would become. I am beyond proud of His Majesty, HRH, and their wonderful wives too. We are so blessed. All the best, HMS Oardacious!
Lovely men
It’s refreshing and inspiring to see how a person uses his position to truly help and elevate others and give focus on worthy events, charities and the people involved versus empty self-promotion.
William has a very strong woman by his side they are a great couple God bless them.
How wonderful, so refreshing and inspiring , God bless and keep!
The current team handling the media exposure and publicity for HRHs Prince and Princess of Wales is doing such an amazing job! The content is informative and tastefully done so as not to overwhelm the consumers/audience with too much of their activities.
Absolutely and HRH W&K don't make it about them but about the good that can be done with their platform
Noticeable and just incredible the way it's being done. ❤
Yes, it's awesome!!
Well done Prince William loving these videos.🐨🇦🇺🦘
Wonderful to see HRH supporting such a worthy cause
There is no doubt in my mind that the Prince of Wales will be a wonderful king.
You just wonder when comparing what the monarchy does with what the politicians are doing for the people.
The way I see it monarchy is a respite from the self serving politicians. 🤔
God Save the Prince
I feel sorry for William as his brother is psychotic and drug addicted.
This is what it’s all about. Well done William. I hope his mental health is OK people forget about him and his family how they must feel. ❤
William's feelings are forgotten in the incessant noise, whining and complaining of his brother. There were two youngsters walking behind that coffin in 1997. One has lived his life with grace, dignity and honour. The other one is called Harry.
I don't think anyone "forgets' ...It must be terribly difficult watching a loved family member self destruct. Everytime another antic happens, my heart hurts for PW.
Especially when their mental health is very top of mind for the family.
@@snowysnowyriver the other black sheep son - Toad Sparry!
Absolutely!!
@@snowysnowyriver 🇦🇺Well said. There were two children behind that coffin. The older child always looked after the younger one in troubled times as siblings do irrespective of their differences. It’s sad however the younger one thought his path would be a better one. Who is trapped now. Poor silly Harry.
When you see Prince William in situations like this he is so relaxed and that smile lights up his face. The interaction was fab. Good look to the team. Sadly the support was not there for my late brother an RAF air sea rescue winch-man in air sea rescue, i am thrilled that today mental health support is so much better. Well done Prince William for doing your utmost to rid the stigma which enables help to be sort and given.
I am so sorry for your loss ❤
@@kdp8133 I agree🙏❤️
I am so sorry my dear. I know well the devastation of losing a loved sibling before their 'time'. Kia Kaha (Maori: stay strong) and love from NZ.
Now this is SERVICE
💙👑🇬🇧💙
William is so at ease in these situations. Its good to see him doing what he does best. He is a brilliant asset to Gt Britain.
Great to see PW engaged in meaningful conversations!
Agree 100%. Speaking as someone who also lost their mother at a young age: I hope he knows how very proud she would be of him. Both Prince and Princess are doing a beautiful job.
HRH is knocking it out the park these days.
I love to see the Royals doing their thing and seeing all the awareness brought to the public. Prince William is so warm and engaging.
What a great team of ordinary people achieving extraordinary feats and raising funds for some awesome causes.
And they are not receiving any awards like others who do nothing but receiving awards for doing nothing other than talk about themselves and complain about everything.
What an AMAZING group of people that I never knew existed. Thanks for teaching me about HMS Oardacious.
Wow ❣️ Yes , Amazing indeed 💕💕💕
What a wonderful video with such a wonderful content & wonderful cinematography
that I feel a wonderful surge in my heart 💟
Thank you dear Prince & Princess of Wales for creating this channel for the world
💝💝💗💗💖💖
Me too, what a great way to stay fit and help others...William needs to appoint a new Ambassador for The Invictus games..
I love the way William is such a good role model, including regarding mental health, especially for men, as it is often unspoken and not understood well. Well done.
Very refreshing.
Wow!! They rowed the Atlantic for Military Families! Helping hands for others... I am so impressed and grateful.
Service to others relieves is a way to get out of our isolation, selfishness. Great Job All!
Anytime I see WIlliam I inherited his moms good looks, and charm.What a wonderful man.
A man of excellence. His service to God, and country, and of course his family.
A lol I can say is wow! And this group of people are also excellent.
He has his mother’s good looks and his father’s charm, a great combination.
Gas good manners too Unlike some, no names.
@@franceslivingston5085 Yes, IMO he has the best of both of them, including intelligence, empathy, and devotion to service. TRH William and Catherine seem to improve every year.
Can you stop comparing him to his late mother, how would you like to be constantly compared to a parent. He is a person in his own right.
@nakaida Kahn I don't think any child ever stops getting compared to their parents(looks like, behaves like)...it IS who they are. Using parents' EXPERIRNCE or tragedies for excuse or comparison is another thing.
Prince of WAles GOD bless you always
Thank you Prince William [and team] for everything that you and Catherine and the rest of the Monarchy (including your utterly sweet and precocious children-love, love, love Louis!) have continued to do for the people of Britain. You are truly an inspiration as well as a genuine beacon of light for all of us around the world-especially here in the United States. God bless you and the rest of the Monarchy as well as everyone affiliated with HMS Oardacious for promoting the importance of mental health. Lastly, thank you all so very much again for the truly uplifting and
inspirational video upload! Great to see HMS Oardacious in full swing as the water truly looks so amazingly calm and inviting. So incredibly envious too of the incredibly tranquil and bucolic beauty! 😍🫶🏻🙌🏻🇬🇧
It's okay not to be okay. I've always liked that saying. Well done everyone and Prince William 👍🏼
Indeed my friend i just Loooooooove him may God bless him and Al of his family thank you Prince William
This is a great saying. Very profound 🌈🌈👍👍
Speechless. A magnificent group of people whose courage WILL inspire and touch countless lives 👏👏👏👏👏
HRH The Prince of Wales has a very rare ability to shine a light on very worthy causes whilst not making it all about him. I have so much respect for him.
We all need to be aware of mental health is as important as physical health.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I liked how Prince William referred to mental fitness at the end of this video.
Both coincide with each other, can't be mentally fit if your body is falling apart and visa versa...can't be physically fit if you're not motivated mentally to get out there and work at it .
I love that you're down-to-earth and approachable, Prince William. It's a joy listening to your chat with the rowers.
What an amazing thing to do. Thank you Prince of Wales for helping to raise awareness.
The Prince of Wales looks handsome wearing glasses.
Very irrelevant especially concerning mental health awareness which obviously you have absolutely no knowledge about
@@TheNOGGS Jesus Christ...! 🤦♂
@@carolmcknight7092 You have earned your clown badge!
Congratulations!
🤡
You could use it as a very fitting profile picture.
@@frontenac5083
You have also earned your clown badge along with your red nose, baggy trousers, oversized shoes and clown car. For being someone who hates the RF, but is commenting on the official TH-cam channel of the Prince & Princess of Wales. You should also use your clown badge as your profile pic.
You seem very down to earth, William! Glad to see you out enjoying yourself!!!
How can anyone not love this man. He seems to be a warm, interested, kind person. Thank God he was born first! ❤🇺🇸
ah but did you not hear? Harry says it was engineered so William was born first? can you believe it.
What a amazing man. A lovely group of people
Très présent, très à l'aise, très attentif, très engagé !!! Un Prince William qui a le sens du service !!!
Lol!
And whom is he serving, do you think?
(Himself and his family is the answer.)
@@frontenac5083 Our country.
@frontenac5083 He is making sure that people in the military know that it is OK not to be OK and they can get the mental health support that they need.
@@frontenac5083 and who do you devote your time to? I’m sure that you volunteer all of your life to very worthy causes without pay or fanfare - not. Go and troll someplace else.
Pourrions-nous voir cela comme tout parrain d'association qui soutient une cause !!!
Enjoy every moment of your Day Your Royal Highness. May God Bless you all and your family. 🌺🤗
Love this couple being so sporty and among people, not stuck in a palace.
Lol. 🤦♂
@@frontenac5083 👈😑
I agree. William and Kate are so genuine and down to Earth. They turn their privilege and Royalty round to maximizing publicity for the people and causes they meet.
Where there's a "Wills"...
there's a way!👏
Give Prince William a lot more respect
Referring Prince William is so much more important, intellectual and extremely powerful and passionate especially towards Mental Health, along with Princess Catherine, for you to refer to him so disrespectfully and utterly undignified as “Wills!”
Such immense depth of disrespect
I think Diana referred to Prince William as Wills,❤ anyway god bless you all safe journey,and much love to their Royal Highnesses ❤❤
@@carolmcknight7092
Back in the day his Mum Diana Lovingly referred to him as "Wills" as we ALL did even here in America!...
No "disrespect" here was intended for MY comment was HIGHLIGHTED...
I'm afraid the "disrespect" is on your end you empty one!
I love the new type of conversation Proud of HRH OF WALES ❤
It's refreshing to see discussions about how to address mental health issues positively.
Mental fitness is equally as important as physical fitness; and we all need a bit of help with it sometimes.
Thank you to Prince William, Prince of Wales, for highlighting the impact mental health has on all of us.
What a challenge! What a great team! What a great Prince of Wales… he has such a great laugh! 😊🇬🇧
Great job 🎉HRH Prince of Wales 👏👏👏
This conversation was beneficial so people can understand the mindset of what it takes to complete this type of daunting task. This is not easy and competing on top of it adds a layer of difficulty that is not easily understood.
I am really proud of HRH Prince William for backing his wife and including her cause in his. Blessings to the entire Wales family and I hope the team did well in their competition. I hear you YRH Prince William.
I enjoyed that chat with the crew members, all sound really aware and clued in. So does William, and it says so much that he's listening intently for most of this video. Bravo (and best of luck to the rowers)!
Now this is interesting. I want to see more of this. Finally we can hear the voice of the people behind this awareness. Keep it up KP.
When I need to feel motivated in my life I watch the videos made by The Prince and Princess of Wales and their team. It restores my faith in humanity. Thank you and blessings to you all ❤
Well done everybody!
William will be the greatest king our country has ever known ❤
I absolutely love how William and the group are SO comfortable enough to be able to just open up so freely with each other regarding mental health!! And they just met William, says alot about his compassion and genuineness towards others!!❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
This video is amazing. Truly brilliant William 👏👍
I love this! Shining a light on all the good in the world. Serving others, not self. Amazing!
Excellent hearing all the viewpoints from the crew members. "A family within a family"--God bless PW.
What I found so humbling was the approach - there was no need for fanfare over PW, the focus was all about the hard work and efforts of this amazing team. He seems so down-to-earth and genuinely interested in these charitable endeavors for the betterment of others.
This is how you raise awareness! FOCUSING ON THE GOOD, GIVING HOPE ❤Well done William, God bless you and Catherine❤ You guys have a great challenge ahead, but you will conquer it with your hard work, caring heart and kindness. Keep it up! 💪
God bless you and your beautiful family Prince William❤️ Love from Philippines❤️
What a great endeavour. Thank you HRH William and the crew.
I love you Prince William, not only because we saw you as the fairy tale prince when you were younger but because of the great human being you have become, we know these last few years have not been easy for you but please stay strong and work for those of us who don't have the possibility to be heard or receive help. God watch over you and protect you.❤
Mental strugles are so real, but often not visible to other people. Having a genuine support is also often a line between surviving and suicide.
Nice to see someone actually doing something productive and helpful to others! X❤️
Where?
🙄
@@frontenac5083 There.
Wow, I couldn't imagine rowing the Atlantic, pretty awesome feat.
Absolutely wonderful to see such a worthy cause being recognised and supported by HRH. So good to see conversations being discussed around mental health, long may this continue.
What an extremely nice and likeable man the PofW is.
A great way to bring more awareness to mental health and appreciated the rower sharing his diagnosis of PTSD. I wish them all success! ❤
It felt like HRH was a member of this wonderful crew -- completely on the same wave, both literally and figuratively.
I adore William, he is a credit to his family and the UK. And good luck to the amazing crew of HMS Oardacious!
So nice to see something positive and inspiring, Prince William is a wonderful man.
If your brother had made more effort into doing stuff like this and also to improve his own mental health he would have come off a better man. Instead of indulging in his own issues. You have become a great person we are all immensely proud of you inall you do for every patronage you represent.
What a wonderful man is Prince William
I would love a go in that rowing boat. I have done team sports for charity and they are the greatest fun. You are often closer than family because you are struggling with the same task. The hardest part is always the mental challenge. Good luck to the team ❤.
This was great to watch and listen to, Made a great start to my day, So a big thank you to Prince William and the team, Good luck to all the rowers, fantastic.😍
Coming from the USA, and having struggled with various mental health issues, I find it amazing to see someone in his capacity showing all that _"it's ok not to be ok"_ Prince William is such a great role model for the world.
This is wonderful because the Prince and Princess of Wales always put in the light other activist and other people for their work. Their are not self obsessed and collecting awards like the two sauxsages😂
Amazing group, wishing them all the best for their crossing. Fair weather and a safe and successful journey!
Prince of Wales is in such good shape, he's got so much on his plate, God Bless him. So good looking. Mental illness can be so debilitating, I say this from experience, that's why exercise is such a great way to relieve anxiety and frustration. Great cause William, you lead by example which is so refreshing, keep up the good work and build a legacy your children can be proud of someday...🙏🇺🇸🇬🇧👑👏✝️💜👍
I love the fact you’re just stood with a brew, having a natter with a lovely bunch of people.
We hear you too- you’ve hidden a lot of heart ache ♥️
Love what you and the POW are doing for Mental Health awareness ❤
Well done everyone 👏 and Prince William 👏👏
It's extremely important to talk about mental health and to have people to talk about. Most people can relate to physical pain but not to mental illness
This is a much better Story to have out there
I am sharing this video with my son to show him how there are communities of people who listen, understand and support each other holistically. My 23 year old son has bipolar illness and a severe anxiety disorder and finds it very difficult to connect with people because so few are willing to show him empathy and connect. Thank you for keeping this conversation going and, please, don't stop.
Such a fantastic and informative video. Good luck to them on their journey.
P.S Prince of Wales 😍😍
Absolutely wonderful to see HRH helping to spotlight mental health issue and what to overcome!
As someone who is often crippled by anxiety and panic disorder it is great to see anxiety highlighted and ‘normalised ‘
I agree Faye and also deal with the same on a regular basis. Sending you love and better days ahead. ❤
@@anna_luin You too Anna . It’s a daily struggle as you know with some days better than others
Oh wow, this is absolutely amazing. This team and what they are doing is a big thing. Respect..
Wow!! Well done everyone, very impressive!!
That's what service looks like. Well done to every member.
What an incredible video, thank you KP! Brought tears to my eyes for such an important topic🙏🏻
Great story. One of the things I love about the Royal Family is their ability to bring people and teams like this to our awareness. Well done PoW and everyone in the rowing team.
Amazing story, well done to the team, very sound comments 👏. Who knew Prince William could row so well 👍.
I think he was on a rowing team in university
Am pretty sure he rowed on that bit of river at school!
Refreshing.Thank you William, for being such a Rock You are a Treasure .🙏🌹
Wow the support and understanding of HRH is amazing. He’s genuinely interested and engaged in helping.
Thank you again for highlighting mental health. Really appreciative.
Love this video! Prince William asks great questions and has great advice. What a wonderful human being. 💜
This Guy is all that - supporting from beginning to end every cause he takes on 👏👏👏
It’s ok not to be ok.
Thank you for this.
This is the type of therapy car chasing Arry Smollett needs.
I remember when William was born. It’s fulfilling to see him so responsible, so respectful, so intelligent and engaged. He’s so tall and has such a deep voice that he’s regal even dressed in shorts for a row.
Love him, Catherine and his children.
We love you Prince William!! You're amazing.
Omg. I loved this. Very inspirational! Wish it had been longer! Good luck everyone!
Prince is such a GIFT TO GREAT BRITAIN!
These young people are UNBELIEVABLE!!
I love the way William rolls up his sleeves & gets stuck in. He’s a wonderful example o us all❤
William is strength.He truly lives by his Mothers example! Harry needs real help not psychedelics,and a Guru!
He said his own mother was paranoid and that was not very long ago. Ketamine, MDMA and mushrooms are being heralded as the next huge break through treatment - much, much, much more successful than traditional SSRI's and talk therapy.
Proud of them all
Some great advice about mental fortitude and insights into how to keep going. Awesome clip, Wills 😊
Prince William is a treasure. He is so genuine. I love hearing about these interesting people and causes.
Wow, I love how William subtly brings up his military experience and how healing it was for him. What a jab at P.H….
This is great!! 👏 you finally taking over your TH-cam Channel to show us some BTS and to highlight the initiatives that are closed to your hearts and that's amazing ❤ that's what we want, keep going this way 🥰
I am just amazed how he could row and talk at the same time. I would be hyperventilating and struggling to breathe 😂😂😂😂.
He is great isn't he ❤.
I would be flat on my back clutching my throat trying to breathe after rowing and talking at the same time.😂.❤ love this group and POW.
Rowing the Atlantic! And for mental health!! Wow! All around, just plain awesome.
