Royal 3 boost psych health of our forces

- BY VICTORIA MURPHY Royal Correspond­ent

CAMPAIGNER Prince Harry PRINCE William, Kate and Prince Harry are launching a drive to improve mental health in the military.

Their Royal Foundation will provide advice and resources to the MoD to improve training, education and specialist support.

Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon, set to announce the plan with Harry today, said: “Our soldiers, sailors and airmen are the best in the world – but we will only maintain that if we are serious about improving mental health.”

It is hoped fighting forces will use psychology and well-being as athletes do to boost performanc­e.

The royals also pledged £2million from the charity to look at how technology can help mental wellbeing.
