Overview

• At Spring Studios on Oct. 9, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a rare red-carpet appearance and accepted the honor at Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Gala, hosted by Carson Daly.
• Prince Harry’s unannounced Movember event the night before spotlighted men’s mental health, where he warned that “the silence is killing people” and criticized algorithm-driven social media influences on young men.
• The couple’s Archewell Foundation will co-produce conversations at Project Healthy Minds’ Oct. 10 festival, which will also feature Archewell’s Lost Screen Memorial honoring young people lost to online harms.
• Project Healthy Minds cited the pair’s efforts to create a safer online world for families and to advance mental wellbeing globally, echoing the couple’s statement that this has been among their most meaningful work.
• The trip drew scrutiny from royal commentators who argued they were the wrong recipients, and it coincided with a developing dispute in Chad where the environment minister accused Africa Parks, with which Harry is linked, of misconduct.
