A BRADFORD TV doctor says the Duke of Sussex needs to be applauded for talking about his mental health in a new interview.

The Duke of Sussex has accused the royal family of "total neglect" in his mental health documentary series with Oprah Winfrey and said he will not be bullied.

During the first three episodes of Apple TV's The Me You Can't See, Harry addressed traumatic memories from his childhood, including the death of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, and harassment on social media of he and his wife Meghan.

Dr Amir Khan says the Duke has encouraged others to talk about their own mental health.

Speaking on today's Good Morning Britain, Dr Amir said: “People have been critical, but there’s no good time to talk about mental health, but we’ve got to talk about it.

“We've got to applaud Prince Harry for talking about his mental health.

“It’s not about the timing, its that he’s encouraging other people to do the same, that’s really important.

“The important thing is he and William get the support they need.”
