His candid revelation came as he spoke about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the effects of being in a warzone
Speaking about his own personal experience of trauma, the Duke of Sussex said: “Look, I can only speak to my own experience but from my tour of Afghanistan in 2012, flying Apaches, somewhere after that there was an unravelling.
“The biggest struggle for me was no one around me really could help”, he said. “I didn’t have that support structure, that network or that expert advice to identify what was actually going on with me.”“Unfortunately, like most of us, the first time you consider therapy is when you are lying on the floor in the foetal position probably wishing you had dealt with some of this stuff previously”, he said. “And that’s what I really want to change.
But he said one of the things he was most proud of was the talks he gave to those inside the military to raise awareness of mental health issues in the forces. He reveals his anger at being pulled from his Afghanistan deployment when his service their was revealed by the media. “To suddenly be on the way home – I was angry,” he said.
