Prince William has met with Navy members to row together. That’s behind it.
Prince William (40) demonstrates his rowing skills. The heir to the British throne has set out with the crew of HMS Oardacious, which is currently training for an Atlantic crossing. Behind it is an organization founded in 2019 to support submarine crews with mental health and well-being issues. The team’s actions raise money for charities that support military personnel and their families.
William has a video of the trip via his official Instagram account and posted on YouTube. In the clip, the 40-year-old can be seen rowing while also having a candid conversation with the crew about mental health. The son of King Charles (74) said: “On the water we talked about everything, “from teamwork to food rations and what it takes to take care of mental health when rowing across the Atlantic”.
Praise for the heir to the throne
In the comments to the video, Prince William is celebrated for bringing attention to HMS Oardacious. And puts himself in the background: A user notes that he has never heard the royal say “I” once, William has focused entirely on the other people.
