BBC ONE has commissioned a landmark film focusing on men’s mental health through the prism of football, with access to the Duke of Cambridge over the course of a year.
'A Royal Road to Wembley: Tackling Mental Health' will cover the 2019/20 FA Cup season as the Duke of Cambridge works in partnership with the FA @FootballAssoc to launch an ambitious new plan to raise awareness of male mental fitness.
As well as following the Duke’s work, the film will tell the stories of men from across the country who have been affected by or are currently experiencing mental health issues.
My mother was part of the team who put together the campaign and she said that the Sussexes and Cambridges were very easy to work with and very down to earth and normal - Harry even started chatting to members of the production and organisation team casually during their breaks. It’s great to see their video messages finally up on screen! I know my mother will be glad the campaign is over, though, since she can actually have some rest, haha! It’s great that the four are doing this campaign though.

So this is the thing we saw the Cambridges working with Richard Curtis. He recorded all four individually yet only William and Kate were put in the CC. I wonder why? Great video. The work with Heads Together is so crucial and nice to see despite the separate foundations that the four of them will still come together for this.
I've never understood how some things get in the CC and others don't. It's a good thing most people just see the end result, which in this case is an excellent initiative that is clearly supported by both the Cambridges and the Sussexes, so well done to them all.

Aww that is a lovely bit of insight! Thank you for sharing., Harry chatting to folks sounds about right lol.
And kudos to your mother for her work!
Your mom must have a very good feeling inside right about now knowing that she was part and parcel that made this whole campaign come together. She's as much as to be lauded for the success as the Sussexes and Cambridges are and her work will be reflected as the campaign grows and makes a difference. This is one thing that I do believe the younger royals are also trying to focus on. That its not just them making a difference but also the people that they meet and work with. Without those people, nothing would be accomplished.
If you're the Hereditary Princess, that makes your mom the Hereditary Queen!

What I don't completely understand is how this campaign 'Every Mind Matters' relates to the 'Heads Together' campaign. What exactly are they 'doing'? And how is that different from what Heads Together is already doing?
Thanks in advance!
As of right now the video has been posted to Kensington Royal’s Twitter and Instagram accounts but nothing from the Sussexes.
Its been on the Sussexes IG for most of the day...
Just checked, its been on sussexroyal and KP exactly the same amount of time....

It is rather strange and frustrating. And frankly not very transparent. There should be a better way to account for royal work. It would probably help all of them out in terms of actually educating the public about what they do because a lot of British folks in my circles, even those who work in government (with a few exceptions i.e. those who work in certain sections), don't think the royals do much and the current way engagements are tallied doesn't help.
The Queen decides what is and what isn't in the CC. If she didn't approve Harry and Meghan's involvement it was because she didn't think it was something they did that was official. They did it as private individuals and not as representatives of the monarchy - plain and simple. It is the same with a number of the things Meghan did on the recent tour of southern Africa - didn't count as an official engagement and thus they were private events for her. Just because there is media coverage of an event doesn't make if an official event e.g. only the Queen is credited with attending Ascot and yet we see most of the family there at least once if not two or three times over the five days. For all bar the Queen it is a private event even if for her it is an official one.
