For the first time: Prince William talks about the depression he experienced following a car accident
The prince was recently interviewed on a podcast and told for the first time about the impact of a car accident during which he tried to save the life of a small child. “I remember wondering why I’m so sad,” William said bravely
In a brand new podcast, which came out recently, Prince William was interviewed and first revealed that he suffered from depression after having a car accident as a small child. According to the prince, the same incident left him with bad feelings, especially in light of the fact that he was trying to save the life of a small child who was at the scene.
‘I remember arriving at the scene pretty quickly finding out that the same boy had been fatally injured by a passing car. All I thought was how I was saving that child’s life. His parents were in a panic, they were screaming and crying and did not know what to do. The staff at the place tried their best to stabilize his situation, “said Prince William.
He further added that everything happened very quickly, and in less than an hour the child was already on his way to the hospital. ‘That night I came home very upset. I felt something in me had changed. It did not leave me for long weeks, I felt like the whole world was dying. It’s a very strange and frustrating feeling, “he added.
‘I remember constantly wondering why I’m so sad. Then I realized I had taken this trauma with me. It affected me deeply. “Luckily I have my family who helped me a lot at that time, and in general,” William concluded. For this dramatic event a happy ending, the boy survived against all odds, even though the doctors recommended disconnecting him from the ventilator.
Over the years, the prince kept in touch with the same boy, who is now ten years old, and assured him to his family that he would always be there by their side. William also said that to this day he gets excited every time he calls the family and asks about the child’s well and talks to him.
The podcast in question will become an entire series from Apple, and will host other stars such as Naomi Campbell, Dolly Parton and more.
