Neglected mental health and its hazardous ends have been a long-standing peril in today’s world. While many meet with an unwanted fate, there are a few individuals who tend to stand out in the murky domains of threat. World-renowned personalities like Sinead O’Connor would enlist in the top names who chose to raise their voice against what is now turning into a norm. Following her lead, there’s another much-talked-about entity, the estranged UK royal, Prince Harry of Windsors. He also stands as a pioneer of the same and there is a lesser-known yet heartwarming story running behind the two. 

As the entire world mourns the loss of the music icon, here is a heartwarming instance that portrayed her contributions to mental health.

O’Connor was one of those who had the majority of her life battling through emotional distress. Thus, she could very well relate to the Duke as she penned down a touching letter. She wrote, “As someone who has trauma-related mental health struggles, I wanted to let you know how bowled over I am by your Apple TV series”. 

Praising Prince Harry’s emotional strength in her musical terms, she wrote, “You’re slammin’ it, You just keep shining on through”. Further addressing the loss of his mother at the early stages of life, she wrote how she shared an equal amount of rage and distress and she was also the same. Nonetheless, it takes courage to transcend the grief. And Prince Harry helped himself a lot by cutting down the garbage. 

Not only did she praise Prince Harry, she once openly took his stand against his greatest critics. Connor shut down the tabloid moghul, Piers Morgan, with a legitimate reply against the foul he reportedly spreads on the internet against him and his wife.
