Suicide prevention is one of the goals of Prince William, which he has been working on for years, and its latest expansion into athletes involved in different sports has highlighted a less-talked-about issue.

His project On Your Side, a suicide prevention toolkit, encourages sportsmen to come forward and talk openly about their mental health challenges.

"Sport has the ability to reach people who may never walk through the door of a mental healthcare service.

"People who may never seek support themselves and may be struggling in silence."

Jac Morgan, meanwhile, involvement in the programme made it further emotional.

For the Wales rugby player, this year was reportedly a tragic one.

He lost his cousin and best friend suddenly, a shock he had to process but still decided to play for the Ospreys a week after the deaths.

At the time of the back-to-back jolts, Morgan wrote, "This week I suddenly lost my cousin and best friend Harri. He meant the world to us as a family."

The player penned, "Yesterday I played my game in honour and memory of Harri."

"It felt important to go out there and make him proud, playing the game that he loved," he continued.

"If anyone is struggling, please reach out to your friends, your family, or anyone around you."

"Cysga’n dawel Harri. Caru ti. [Sleep peacefully, Harri. I love you," Morgan concluded.
