Prince Harry joins Wiggles and football stars in Melbourne to spotlight men's mental health

Wednesday, 15 April 2026, 06:05 · 1 min read

Prince Harry visited Whitten Oval in Melbourne — home ground of Australian rules football club the Western Bulldogs — on the second day of a four-day Australian tour, joining children's entertainment group the Wiggles and local football players at an event organised by men's health charity Movember to highlight the mental health challenges faced by new fathers. Speaking candidly about his own experience with therapy, Harry told the audience that many men struggle to find their purpose in the weeks after a child is born, urging fathers not to wait for a crisis before seeking help. The visit drew significant media attention, underscoring concerns from supporters that high-profile advocacy can bring greater public awareness to the issue, even as critics have questioned whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — who will also appear at commercial events with ticket prices reaching thousands of dollars — are leveraging the trip primarily for personal gain.
