The docuseries is part of Prince Harry's broader focus on mental health, which includes both promoting programmes that help people with mental health concerns and reducing the stigmas associated with the issue.

Lady Gaga, Glenn Close, and NBA players DeMar DeRozan and Langston Galloway all make brief appearances in the trailer for the series.

It comes after Prince Harry opened up on the cycle of "genetic pain" that comes from being a member of the royal family.
Speaking on Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast, Harry admitted that he and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal life and moved to their new home in LA in order to "break the cycle" of "pain and suffering" that his father and grandparents passed down to him.
"There's a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway. We as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say, 'You know what? That happened to me. I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to you," he said.
Comparing his own upbringing to Prince Charles', the Duke of Sussex added, "I never saw it. I never knew about it. And then suddenly I started to piece it all together and go, 'Okay, so this is where he went to school. This is what happened. I know this bit about his life. I also know that's connected to his parents. So that means that he's treated me the way that he was treated, which means how can I change that for my own kids?'"
"And, well, here I am. I've now moved my whole family to the U.S. but that wasn't the plan. But sometimes you've got to make decisions and put your family first and put your mental health first."
