Prince William makes sad admission about ‘very worst pain’ as he speaks out on heartbreaking loss

Prince William has opened up about the 'very worst pain' he had to 'endure' as a teenager, after drawing attention to the 'increasing demand' for one service in the UK.

Both Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry, have been very open during adulthood about their struggles with mental health growing up, particularly after the passing of their mother in 1997, Princess Diana.

In 2019, the so-called 'Fab Four' (William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan) together announced the launch of Shout - a free text service which will provide 24/7 support for people experiencing a mental health crisis.

But William has now spoken out on his own about his experiences, and branded his grief as the 'worst pain' somebody can ever go through, be it a parent or a child.

It comes after the announcement that two of the UK's leading child bereavement charities have joined together, after realising that they can 'do so much more', at a time where the services are really needed.

Child Bereavement UK and Winston's Wish have stated that by coming together, they can offer parents, siblings, and children, the best care possible, and will be able to better train their professionals.

The Prince of Wales, who lost his mother at just 15, said: "Grief is the very worst pain any child or parent will ever endure, and while we cannot prevent these losses, we can ensure that every possible type of expert support and care is given, to help rebuild the lives of those affected."

The dad-of-three has been the Patron of Child Bereavement UK for sixteen years, but it seems that the service is being demanded more than ever before.

He added: "I have also seen the growing need for support of this kind, and it is because of this increasing demand that I am delighted that Child Bereavement UK and Winston’s Wish are joining forces to expand their impact."

By joining forces, the charities will be able to offer support to a much larger number of people.

William said: "They have recognised that together they can do so much more, and I commend them both for taking this bold step to reach more people and help to reduce the long-term challenges that unresolved grief can cause."

Liz Gratton, the current chair of Winston's Wish, said that she hopes the charities can 'deliver new projects, expand reach, and serve a broader demographic of bereaved communities' through their endeavours.
