The Duke of Cambridge today rounded on his grandmother's generation as he claimed the stiff upper lip mentality maintained during World War II is to blame for today's mental health issues.
Prince William made the comments as he joined New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at the Mental Health Matters meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier today.
William, 37, said that people learned to bottle up problems from parents and grandparents who lived through World War II.
'I take it as far back as the war,' he said. 'It was very very difficult for everybody, losing so many loved ones and dealing with such horrendous circumstances that no matter how much you can talk you were never going to fix the issue.
'Completely by accident they passed that on to the next generation, we all learn from our parents we all learn from how they deal with things.
'So this whole generation inherited that this is how we deal with problems we don't talk about them.
The Duke of Cambridge says that Brits struggle with speaking about their mental health due to the stiff-upper lip attitude they inherited from generation who lived through the war
'I think that now there's a generation here that's realising this is not normal and we should talk about them. We should get over it.'
The prince went on to speak of his own experiences while working in the air ambulance, before he quit back in 2017.
He explained: 'I was dealing with a lot of trauma on a day in, day out basis, stuff that your body is not programmed to deal with.
'I might have gone into my shell a bit and thought 'I can deal with this myself' and then potentially down the line it manifests itself in a much worse situation.

William claims that when he Kate and Harry set up Heads Together in 2016 they struggled to find celebrities to be involved because of the stigma surrounding the condition
'As a team you draw it out and you debrief about it, and I know that if I hadn't taken the action that I did then I would have gone down a slippery slope and I would have been dealing with mental illness on a different level.
The second in line to the throne acknowledged the fact that there are still negative connotations surrounding mental health.
When he, his brother Prince Harry and his wife Kate set up their charity Heads Together back in 2016, William claims they struggled to find support because of the stigma surrounding mental health.
He added: When we set up the campaign not one celebrity wanted to join us, not one person wanted to help with the campaign because it was mental health
The Duke of Cambridge ended by saying he's going to 'use sport as a vehicle to smash mental health' and work with male suicide more 'because it's one of the biggest killers of young men in the UK'.
He said: 'Real progress is being made and we all need to keep the momentum going.'
On Tuesday William was joined by Sir David Attenborough in Davos where the royal interviewed the broadcaster about his work
This is the prince's final day in Davos, having touched down yesterday in order to interview veteran broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.
The Duke of Cambridge has described the Blue Planet and Dynasties narrator as having 'the single most important impact in my conservation thinking'.
William today asked Sir David about his decades of work - and his message for the leaders watching them on stage.
Sir David, 92, warned of a climate 'crisis' and said: 'Care for the Natural World - not only that - treat it with respect and reverence. We can wreck it all without even noticing and in the end we will wreck ourselves'.
William hailed the impact of Sir David's programmes and said they had been 'seen be literally billions of people world-wide' and trailed his new show Our Planet, released on Netflix in April.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
