The Duke and Duchess of Sussex nearly gave fans a heart attack when, after days of social media silence and amid the great royal baby wait, they took to their official Instagram to post a very inspiring post at midnight. The couple uploaded a collage of pictures at 12 am to shine a light on Mental Health Awareness Month in the US, which is in May, and Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK, which takes place on the 13-19 May.
In the snap's caption, the couple paid tribute to "all of the incredible work people across the globe are doing in this space" and went on to reveal that they were shining a light "on several Instagram accounts that promote mental well-being, mental fitness, body positivity, self-care, and the importance of human connection - to not just hear each other, but to listen".

The new accounts they follow include those by Bryony Gordon, Head Space, Black Mental Health Matters and Talk Space.
