Interviewer: So, a real insight into why you and Prince Harry set up the Royal foundation.

Did you ever imagine it will grow like this?

William: I think when we first started it, it started as a very small idea with Harry

and I scratching our heads going, “How... how can we do something that's going to help

How are we going to build something that's going to provide almost a vehicle to allow

Because it was quite difficult at the time.

Harry and I used to go to a lot of engagements and see these incredible charities doing really

great work, but felt that we... we could give more, and how could we do that?

And so, the foundation idea sort of bubbled up as a sort of vehicle to be able to do more

when we... when we walked away from these engagements.

Interviewer: So, you both take credit for coming up with the idea?

Interviewer: Are there any particular moments that stand out for you or people you've met

William: I think, for me, I think, probably, you know, after while it was quite a big moment

for me, when I realized the convening power of what we could do.

I think getting the 7 leading global conservation NGOs and charities together in 1 room, and

getting them to unite behind 1 particular focus, I thought that was... that was when

I realized, actually, maybe this... this has got some legs, this has got some real ability

Because I found uniting people together, bringing them together made so much... broke down barriers.

It made things move much quicker, much smoother.

And actually, we got more impact from that.

And then leading on to that, that the mental health campaign Heads Together, I think, you

know, basically replicated the same thing, again, on a sort of national scale.

And I think it surprised all of us how much it took off.

And, again, the fact that we had these leading experts who've been working in the mental

health field for way longer than we had, but we felt that we could... we could provide...

well, they provided the foundation and the solidity of the campaign, and we could then

help provide some of the... some of the other conduits.

Interviewer: Duchess, we can definitely give you credit for coming up with the idea to

work together on the campaign around mental health.

Catherine: That's pretty generous of you to say.

But actually, it was actually going back to the beginning, when we were looking at the

different ways in which we could all work with the foundation.

And I suppose I'd learned through sort of meeting some of my managers, that there was

sort of all these underlying causes across so many different sectors.

Mental health just kept on flagging up every time, whether it's with addiction or school

support and with vulnerable young children.

So, it's something that I felt very passionate about.

It wasn't as big as I actually thought it was, but it was something that I think all

3 of us at the time felt that we really could make a far bigger impact together, rather

Interviewer: And how much of a difference did it make the 3 of you behind that call

I've always felt really strongly and sort of putting... putting ideas together.

And sort of, we all had very different areas that were working... working with sort of

Harry with... with knife crime, William with a lot of homelessness, with me with sort of,

And I just think being able to sort of come to... come together to find some sort of common...

common ground, and... and be able to sort of, yeah, draw ideas together and find a way

forward, I think that's really, really exciting.

Interviewer: Meghan, you are new to the foundation, but you have lots of experience working with

charities, especially grassroots organizations.

It would be interesting to find out, first of all, your impressions of the Royal foundation

Well, obviously, it's incredibly exciting.

And yes, I think, for me, it's been a very long time working on cause-driven work, specifically

But, you know, to see the model of the foundation is really interesting.

Because while I've worked with larger NGOs, I've also worked with really small grassroots

organizations where you can see a higher level of impact, in my opinion, because there's

What you're seeing here, and what I noticed with Heads Together from a global perspective

(because I wasn't here, obviously, when it was happening) was the power of convening

all of these smaller organizations who have the same issue, but need that extra push and

support, under this umbrella, you're able to achieve that.

And the impact they all made with Heads Together was tremendous.

So, I'm very excited to be able to work on initiatives similarly, and that can have that

Interviewer: And it's great that you are now able to work together (that's exciting) on

How do you think, Prince Harry, you can make the most impact through your work with the

Harry: I think as Williams touched on, as we've mentioned in the past, it's all about

I think the biggest successes that... that the Royal foundation has had to date is all

based around changing mindsets, whether it's the perception of wounded, injured, and sick

Harry: Invictus Games... well, part of the Invictus Games and endeavor fund as well.

You know, Heads Together was a... is an amazing convening power, but also the perception of

mental health now across this country and also in other countries has changed without

I think the timing was... the timing was... was absolutely perfect on that.

But again, it's... it's all about tackling the cause and not the symptom.

I think in today's society, we have... it's very easy to get sucked into trying to sort

We... we have the 4 of us and everybody at the Royal Foundation, and all of our supporters,
