Prince
William will take listeners on a journey as he appears on a special
episode of Apple Fitness+ series, Time To Walk, on Monday.
Prince William, 39, will speak candidly as he
walks through the Sandringham estate in Norfolk – from Sandringham House, past
St. Mary Magdalene Church (where the royals celebrate Christmas), and ending
eventually in Anmer.
The father-of-three is encouraging people to
take some time out and walk for their mental health over the Christmas period.
During
the episode, he talks about the importance of keeping mentally fit, reflects on a light-hearted moment when he
was drawn out of his comfort zone, the value of listening as a way to
empower others, and an experience that led him to prioritize mental health. And
in a rare move, William also
chooses three of his favourite songs and explains why they are
important to him.
