Image source, PA
The Prince reiterated his commitment to encouraging people to speak out and seek help for their mental health problems.
He suggested that young people constantly checking their mobile phones was an example of how everyone would benefit from taking "a moment to process our thoughts rather than rushing from one thing to the next".
Harry was speaking at the start of a panel discussion at the Encouraging Happy Young Minds event, which brought together a range of groups focused on the mental well-being of young people in the city.
Quote Message
We need to better equip our young people with the tools they need to cope with this increasingly complex and fast-moving world we live in. I read recently that young people check their phones at least 150 times per day. I'm sure we could all be more effective and efficient if we took a moment to process our thoughts rather than rushing from one thing to the next.
