The importance of mental health has been highlighted by Prince Harry, who recently accepted a senior position with the nonprofit BetterUp.
The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to join the organization in San Francisco on March 7 and 8 to participate in one of their conferences in person. The Uplift conference will talk about “purpose, performance, and human transformation” in today’s society.

Issa Rae, the star of Insecure, David Chang, the host of Ugly Delicious, Robin Arzon, the vice president of Peloton, and academic Adam Grant will all be speaking at the conference.
Harry will be making his first official public appearance since the publication of his memoir, in which he talked about his life as a member of the royal family, at the summit.
In one excerpt, Harry discussed his upbringing from his father, King Charles, describing how his father frequently lacked parenting skills and occasionally imitated his grandfather.
Harry asserted that his own childhood experiences were the cause of Charles’ apparent lack of affection.

Prince Harry claims that Charles’ inability to express his emotions became more apparent after the passing of his adored mother, Princess Diana.
The father of two described how Charles at Balmoral Castle sat on the end of his bed before breaking the tragic news of his mother’s passing in his book. The Duke further asserts that his father did not give him a hug or otherwise show physical comfort after telling him the heartbreaking news.
With the main ceremony scheduled for the same day as Harry’s son Archie’s birthday, it is currently unknown if Harry will attend his father’s coronation.
Harry evaded a direct response when asked by ITV’s Tom Bradby whether he would return for the momentous occasion.

There are many things that could occur between now and then, he said. The door is, however, always open. They now have the initiative.
There’s a lot to talk about, and I sincerely hope they’re willing to sit down and do so.
