Recently, Markle and Prince Harry joined the meeting of the Crisis Help Line group to underscore how crucial mental health is amid the coronavirus pandemic that has been harrowing fear across the globe.

“It’s not everyday that Meghan and Harry jump into your staff meeting and champion the work you do! Blessed to still be working during these crazy times!” employee Ricky Neal shared on Instagram but had since made his account private.

"At the heart of this service will be an incredible national volunteer community, one which needs to grow to allow us to support more people in crisis. We hope that many more of you will join us and be part of something very special," their joint statement read.

Prince Harry has had his bout with a mental health issue in the past that stemmed from the death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997. The husband of Markle admitted that he had to attend counseling to cope with the painful memory, Forbes reported.
