Prince Harry’s TV show with Oprah Winfrey is set to launch later in May, the host has confirmed.

The Duke of Sussex’s new series will focus on mental health and will air on Apple.

The TV host confirmed the upcoming launch of the series during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on CBS.

Oprah said: “I wanna just say that Dr Perry and I have been also, for the past two years, along with Prince Harry and Apple, we’ve been working on this mental health series that’s coming out in May on Apple.”

The TV presenter went on to say how important it was for her to use her life “in order to help people.”

The Sussexes previously confirmed that Prince Harry was working on the new series in a post on their official Instagram account in 2019 .

The statement read: “The dynamic multi-part documentary series will focus on both mental illness and mental wellness, inspiring viewers to have an honest conversation about the challenges each of us faces, and how to equip ourselves with the tools to not simply survive, but to thrive.

“This commitment builds on The Duke of Sussex’s long-standing work on issues and initiatives regarding mental health, where he has candidly shared personal experience and advocated for those who silently suffer, empowering them to get the help and support they deserve.

“His Royal Highness has spent many years working with communities throughout the UK and young people across the Commonwealth to break the stigma surrounding mental illness and broaden the conversation of mental wellness to accelerate change for a more compassionate, connected and positive society.”

Speaking about the series two years ago, Prince Harry said: “I truly believe that good mental health, mental fitness, is the key to powerful leadership, productive communities and a purpose-driven self.”

While the exact release date has not yet been announced, the series will launch later this month.
