“It didn't go well. Honestly I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars."
Prince William appeared on the podcast in support of the mental health campaign Heads Up, recording the special episode from Kensington Palace in two parts – one back in March and one via video call earlier this month.
"We all have mental health, and we all have to stay mentally fit,” William said of the campaign when he appeared on the podcast.
“It's a strength to talk about your mental health, it's not a weakness. You know if you're not feeling well, something's bothering you, talk about it – it's not a problem."
