THE DUKE of Sussex has opened up about experiencing a “burnout”, claiming he felt he was “getting to the very end of everything that I had”.

Prince Harry made the comments during a live stream with tennis star Serena Williams.

The event was hosted by BetterUp – a mental health company he has been part of since last year.

He said he was “literally getting to the very end of everything that I had, any fuel or any steam in the engine just like I was burning the candle at both ends”.

“And it was like boom, that is when you are forced to look inside yourself, because with everything else around you seemingly, you feel as though it’s working against you, the only way that you could really combat it,” he said.

Prince Harry told viewers about the importance of “self-care”, but said he knew how difficult it could be to find the time.

“The self-care is the first thing that drops away,” he said. “I’m happy to admit that as a husband, as a dad.”

During the conversation, Serena Williams revealed her close relationship with the Duke and how the royal is “always solving all my life’s problems.”

The 23-time Grand Slam champion said the pair talked for “hours” and he was a “coach” to her.

The company, which offers guidance for personal development, assigned Prince Harry as chief impact officer in March 2021 - a year after he stepped down as a working member of the royal family.

The Duke admitted he had used the service himself and spoke regularly with his assigned coach.

During a conversation about seeking guidance from others, he said: “I think people are gonna need to rely on each other and on professional help, but also not just professional help.

“Also friends, family, maybe complete strangers. Anyone can actually help you in that coaching process.”

Serena Williams replied: “Yeah. And I’m glad you said it’s not only professional help, Harry, because it could be a friend or it could be someone that has, like, experience or just gives you some good insight and that you can give good feedback on.

“And I know I joke a lot, but Harry’s actually one of my coaches. Whenever I see him, he’s always solving all my life’s problems.”
