Prince William visits Albion and Villa during new show on men's mental health

The show, called Titled Football, Prince William And Our Mental Health, will air on BBC One this Thursday which examines men's mental health through the prism of football. It begins at 8.05pm.

In it, the show sees the Duke of Cambridge visit Albion's training ground in November.

There, he meets with Albion's head coach Slaven Bilic and the first team squad to promote mental well-being.

The visit was made as part of the HeadsUp campaign which he leads. The scheme aims to raise awareness about mental health, spark conversations between football fans - particularly men - about the issue, and direct those in need towards support.

Also in the documentary, the Duke of Cambridge speaks candidly about dealing with the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

He talks about the "life-changing" experience of having children which brought back the emotions he felt following the death of his mother in 1997.

He said if you live through a "traumatic" event, like losing a parent at a young age, those feelings can resurface during the amazing but scary period of parenthood.

The Duke, who has three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - admitted he had found things "overwhelming" at times but he and wife Kate supported each other as they went through those "moments" together.

The Prince also has a conversation with footballer Marvin Sordell as part of the documentary. Mr Sordell said he struggled when he became a father for the first time a few years ago.

William said to Mr Sordell: "Having children is the biggest life-changing moment, it really is.

"I think when you've been through something traumatic in life - and that is like you say your dad not being around, my mother dying when I was younger - your emotions come back in leaps and bounds because it's a very different phase of life."
