William spoke at the Emergency Services Mental Health Symposium on Nov. 25, and disclosed that the, “time serving as an emergency responder was tough on his mental health, and he often felt like he shouldn’t share that weight with his family,” according to Marie Claire.
“I remember the pressure of attending calls in the most stressful conditions, sometimes with tragic conclusions,” he said as he recalled his time working for the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue and the East Anglia Air Ambulance.

“I remember the sense of solidarity with my team, pulling together to do the best we could and sharing the weight of responsibility,” he said.
But when he returned home at night, William didn’t feel like talking about the stresses of the day. “I also remember returning home with the stresses and strains of the day weighing on my mind, and wanting to avoid burdening my family with what I had seen,” he said.
“I found it very difficult, there were a number of times when I had to take myself away because I was getting too involved in it. And then I was going to talk to someone else after the event and it was really important But it continues, it doesn’t leave you there, you just manage it better.”

In an official Instagram post on Kensington Palace’s official YouTube channel he said, “When I was in the air ambulance, one job I went to with children. And that affected me much more I think that if I haven’t had children, so for me it was the relation of my personal life with the family or the incident I was at.”

Prince William left the emergency services in 2017 in order to become more involved in royal duties.
On Instagram he wrote, “Supporting the mental health of our emergency services is extremely personal to me. I often think about my time working for RAF Search and Rescue and the East Anglia Air Ambulance.
“I am therefore delighted to announce that senior leaders representing the national bodies have today signed the Mental Health at Work Commitment on behalf of emergency services right across the UK. This is an unprecedented agreement, and it sends a powerful message to all emergency responders that mental health is, and will remain, a firm priority for the UK’s emergency services.”
