The multi-part documentary, which will air on Apple TV in 2020, was co-created and produced by the Duke of Sussex Harry and Oprah - and we're not sure who's more regal.

The social-media statement detailed that the project is aiming to offer its viewers "with the tools to not simply survive, but to thrive".

Harry admitted he was "incredibly proud" to be working alongside Oprah on the "vital" series.

He said: "I truly believe that good mental health - mental fitness - is the key to powerful leadership, productive communities and a purpose-driven self."

Harry added: "It is a huge responsibility to get this right as we bring you the facts, the science and the awareness of a subject that is so relevant during these times.

"Our hope is that this series will be positive, enlightening and inclusive - sharing global stories of unparalleled human spirit fighting back from the darkest places, and the opportunity for us to understand ourselves and those around us better."

Harry is no stranger to the subject of mental health and previously spearheaded the 'Heads Together' campaign in 2017 alongside his brother and sister-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate.

The campaign's aim is to tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness and leads a coalition of mental health charities to provide support for people affected by mental illness, raise awareness of the issue and tackle the stigma that surrounds it.
