During the summit, Prince Harry took a two-way approach to address the mental health issue and tried to engage with his students. Trying to address the global stigma around mental health, Prince Harry asked, “If I say mental health do you know what it means?”
“In some cases around the world, in more than you would believe, there is a stigma when it comes to mental health. Too many people don’t want to talk about it because it’s invisible. It’s something in our mind that we can’t see. It’s not like a broken leg, it’s not like a broken wrist,” Harry said.
The Duke encouraged openness and dialogue about mental well-being, while also stressing the the importance of self-care and mutual support. “Every single person in this room, the youngest, the oldest, every single person has mental health,” he noted

“Every single one of you has a story. We all have our story. And there’s no shame in any single one of your stories. Even on the hardest days or darkest days, everything is a pillar of your strength by each of you being there,” the Duchess said.
Meghan Markle expressed her firm belief in the future of the students at the Lightway Academy, further thanking the institution for giving them the honor to be a part of the event.
“It is a complete honor to have our first visit to Nigeria be here with all of you. We believe in you. We believe in your futures. We believe in your ability to continue to tell your stories and to just be honest with each other,” Markle, who recently revealed her Nigerian roots, said.
