Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey Reveal Premiere Date for Their Much-Anticipated Mental Health Series

Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey have announced the debut of their new mental health series.

Premiering on May 21 on Apple TV+, The Me You Can't See will help "lift the veil on the current state of mental health and well-being," according to a press release shared on Monday.

"We are born into different lives, brought up in different environments, and as a result are exposed to different experiences. But our shared experience is that we are all human," said the Duke of Sussex.

"The majority of us carry some form of unresolved trauma, loss, or grief, which feels — and is—very personal," he continued. "Yet the last year has shown us that we are all in this together, and my hope is that this series will show there is power in vulnerability, connection in empathy and strength in honesty."

Oprah added, "Now more than ever, there is an immediate need to replace the shame surrounding mental health with wisdom, compassion, and honesty. Our series aims to spark that global conversation."

Harry, 36, who has spoken about his intense grief after losing his mother, Princess Diana 24 years ago — and the struggles he suffered in the aftermath — co-created the series with Winfrey.
