Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is collaborating with an "American royal" on a new TV project. And who is that? The Queen of All Media, Oprah Winfrey herself.

He is working with Oprah on a 2020 documentary series to address mental health — illness and wellness — which will air on Apple TV. Oprah told CBS This Morning that when talking to the prince she asked him what were the most important issues to him and he answered, "There are two: climate change and mental wellness/fitness."

From that brief chat, the two agreed this is a matter they are both concerned about. They have been collaborating for the past few months, which we will see the results of their efforts in a 2020 docuseries.

Here is the official announcement with more details, from Harry and wife Meghan Markle's newly launched Instagram page:

Prince Harry has spoken candidly in the past about dealing with the loss of his mother, Princess Diana, at the age of 12. In 2017, he said that he shut off his emotions for 20 years, avoiding the trauma, and finally sought counseling when he found himself on the verge of breaking down, reports The Associate Press. 

With professional help he was able to process his feelings of distraught, saying, "All of a sudden, all of this grief that I have never processed started to come to the forefront and I was like, there is actually a lot of stuff here that I need to deal with."

He came out of therapy with a better handle on things and was able to focus on moving forward: "I've now been able to take my work seriously, been able to take my private life seriously as well, and been able to put blood, sweat and tears into the things that really make a difference and things that I think will make a difference to everybody else," he said."

As you probably know by now, he is now married to American actress Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and the two are expecting their first baby... any time now (!!). 

What do you think of Prince Harry's involvement with such a sensitive topic?
