Overview
- An eight-minute clip shows William speaking with Welsh widow Rhian Manning, who lost her one-year-old son and, five days later, her husband Paul to suicide.
- William appears visibly moved during the exchange, briefly pauses, and apologizes that the questions are hard to ask.
- He says, "The best way to prevent suicide is to talk about it," urging people to speak early with trusted loved ones.
- The National Suicide Prevention Network, led by the Royal Foundation, is coordinating around 20 organizations across the UK, including Manning's charity 2Wish.
- Reporting says William and Kate have committed about $1.3 million over three years to strengthen support for at-risk people through the new network.
