The Cambridges and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex helped to launch Shout 85258 last year - investing £3m in the service via their Royal Foundation.
Around 65% of those texting are aged under 25, the charity said, with many messengers seeking mental health support.Training as a crisis volunteer at Shout puts William in the frontline of services for young people in distress - and it's a tough role. Some texters are experiencing depression or panic attacks, others are self-harming. A large proportion say they feel suicidal.
Hmm, 'anonymously', 'secretly'.
❤️❤️❤️
That is precious
BBCWorld Dont ever phone up even if ur desperate
And....
Shh.. secret . Dont tell anyone
except he is on a better wage package than people doing it for real...
Their dentist/hygenist must have been working during lockdown! 😬
IMPORTANT: Please check out my profile if you are protesting or know someone who is. I have a whole thread based on precautions, tips etc. It’s the first tweet. Share it as much as you can.Stay safe!
Hairpieces work well
He's qualified?
Did uncle Andrew call ?
BBCWorld “When you feel blue, ask mummie to buy you a castle.”
Maybe using the word counselling is a bad choice as he is not a trained counsellor
Thank you ,👍 you’re support regarding mental health is a great support. 👍
BBCWorld Anonymous till he actually speaks you mean? 🤔
Is he a trained counsellor? Think of the damage he can be doing if not trained or supervised, and now exposing himself as a counsellor.
Thank you for sharing your secrets with the nation. I am going to keep mine to myself, there are many many good things I'v done, but I am not going to tell you.
Not anonymous anymore is it?
The Anonymous Publicly Announce Their Anonymity.
Should have kept it anonymous, not look for kudos.
BBCWorld I like the young royals. I don’t like the old ones, particularly.
KatesRangers Lovely couple 💖💖
Does he want a fucking medal?
He is not a counsellor. He has had 25 hours of training to be a volunteer. Please do not undermine the profession like this.
So anonymous that he’s telling the world 🙄
He should call his uncle Prince Andrew and ask him to turn himself in to the FBI. I mean, if your uncle was accused of raping trafficked children, as a father of young kids, you'd want that matter to be clarified, right?
I'd hang up if I knew it was him. Patronising wrong'un.
There are some on here who can listen, but won't hear. The on line service he refers to is not counselling but a support service. They need people but it is not straightforward to get involved.
Well it’s no longer a secret🙄
It's not very anonymous
Someone does a nice thing. Wankers pick fault. Well done Twitter. Anyone remember 'nice?
How the hell can he help anyone? He has had his arse wiped since day 1....What does he know? Im annoyed at him because I dont want a king....never mind a bald one.
Has he got a psychology degree all of a sudden
Seriously how the fuck can he 'counsel' normal people? On what level is he able to identify & empathise with ordinary folk? (In b4, this is just a gay-op) We know.
“I do a lot of great work for charidee....don’t like to talk about it.”
Heaven help us 🙄
BULLY
Well done future King, Wjlliam
The amount of white privilege on show here is staggering
Whoever let him do that should be disciplined.
Not anonymous any more then!
Is he qualified to do this?
Highly comendable that he does that but really silly to tell the world , could embarass those he spoke to ,could encourage hoax callers ,ETC
'Anonymously', that is why everyone knows it now...
what a wonderful man he has become his mum would be so proud of him.
How sweet, id definitely recognise his lovely voice...
Let's hope he's had appropriate training. Or are there a team of staff & a lawyer there advising him of what to say?
I think these two are great x
BBCWorld Black lives matter
Excellent - so lovely to see xxx
What possible knowledge will they have to help or advise people on benefits, living 8 in a house built for 4 ,drug or drink dependency, anti social neighbor's or any of the other issues normal people are facing every day ?
Try doing that as a volunteer when you have 3 kids, a mortgage and nae cash. That’s a proper hero. This guy’s just doing it for the attention. Get them aw tae fck.
Was he counselling Kate because she seemed to be furious at Meghan yesterday 🥱
. Apparently this is old news
Scrounging bastards.
Imagine leaving diana for that old hag and not only happy with you have her killed! Poor kids never had a chance!
Nauseating feudal PR abolishthemonarchy
derek_acorah If true..fair play.
Sorry, we're all out of chocolate watches Mr anonymous
Can't even look at them without being repulsed.
Not really anonymous is it if he’s talking about it , can’t believe how ironic this is, it’s all beginning to get a little tedious, what’s happened to them all they want to do is brag about how much good there doing but don’t tell anyone it’s suppose to be anonymous
All of you having a pop at Prince William should hang your heads in shame. He's been through lifes ups and downs and has valuable advice to give....so hush your noise!
ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS SECRETARY CHRISTIAN JONES, THE ALLEGED SOURCE OF THE BRIEFINGS, CONTINUES TO WORK FOR THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE BInvestigates
I hope not counselling for mental health? After that William called Harry 'fragile' and dropped as 'hot bricks' - it is hypocricy.
Did PrinceWilliam staff smeared Harry and Meghan. Their is a legal letter.
Then why reveal it?
although it isnt really highly important story, as many hundreds of volunteers do it for years, the purpose of story is to entertain and lift our spirits, cos the world is fooked at mo. its so depressing that you cant do things you enjoy because of what the chinese spread to us.
When did undertaking a good deed only become valid it when you tell everybody?
I’m sure he means well and genuinely wants to help but... really? He’s not counselling people, is he? He’s a listening ear. Poor journalism.
Good on him
It's a text service as such William can use his profile to increase awareness, yet continue to assist on the service itself.. I doubt he's signing every txt 'Cheers William' people complaining that's he's trying to use his position for good need to get a grip.. What have you done
He seems a nice enough bloke he should renounce all the Royal bullshit and have a normal life.
If he hadn't have said then youd all be complaining he hadn't done anything....cant win! Hes still anonymous unless he answers the phone with 'hello prince William here how are you feeling '
So needy can't do voluntary work with out bragging princewilliam
Not counselling. Using helping skills.
Not anonymously then is it, if you tell every-fucking-one. What a glory hunting plank.
And? Another non news story about another posh boy. Yawn.
Yawn....
I was hoping he was a 'secret millionaire' that kids on he is poor and then at end of show says im rich, here have some cash to buy that new washing machine you need'
Is Prince William a counsellor?
Do you know that Bitcoin investment can change your financial life,,, Do you know you can earn up to $3000 with just a little investment without sending money to anyone WhatsApp me if you are interested in making money Inbox me
Weird how he couldn't support his own brother and wife before the gutter press forced them out of the country. How is this even anonymous if it's in the news?
With will living in the real world I’m sure he’s highly qualified for such a role. What a f*****g tit.
He's not a trained counselor. Surely it's dangerous to have untrained twats give advice.
The Peoples 'KING' 👑
I have always wanted to type this, hey william your bird needs to learn to apply more eyeshadow and get that smokey look, a little dash on her eyelids has no sexy effect.she has been doing it for years, is she scared of looking a tasty bird,
Amazing
Anonymously? So why tell us?
KingJohnIII will soon be on the throne,
Propaganda. Parasite
How’s it a secret then ?
Jeez, wow. Is this rare and news worthy in the UK? Think heaps of people do this, beside their other responsibilities...
He’s one great guy takes after is mother 💙
I knew something was up with my counsellor when they told me they’d brb. The gardener has had an accident with the ride on lawnmower and the horse has kicked the stable boy
It's not anonymous when you reveal it.
More PR. Republic. Soonest. And don't give me that bollocks about tourism.
Future king right there 🤴🏼🤴🏼
Anonymous ?
Fuck all else to do
Great way to keep it anonymous, tell the press...
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
To get rid of their racism...🤔🙄
And the cynics appear once again. Humanity is going to shit.
That is unethical if done anonymously.
He’s a “counsellor” now? Royal bullshit spread by BBCBreaking
Good on him.
Counselling people how? Listening is one thing, counselling takes qualifications. And/Or having lived in the real world.
That's not weird... much
As someone who is about to finish her 1st year of a 4+ year cpcab qualification, I object to the use of the word 'counsellor' here; it takes a lot of training to become an accredited counsellor. What he's doing is (very nobly) providing empathetic support, not counselling.
Great news helping people who need it right now well done 🙌🏻
Least he has benefits to the world than his wacko lazy brother
BBCWorld Oh, yah, after a tough day in the helicopter why not go to one’s other palace for a spot of polo
This is considered newsworthy why 🤷🏻♂️
Good to hear. I doubt the anonymity factor though; the voice is unique and now he's blown his cover.
Love Kate and Wills but why did he “admit” this ? Is it something to be ashamed of , or on the other hand why tell anyone at all?
€100 says the great British gutter press now have dozens of staff calling every known helpline pretending to need help and recording the call.
'Oh look at me'
The hate in the comments is testimony to why the world has gone bad. People are nasty.
BBCWorld I wish he hadn't revealed that.
anything to get headlines
How is it anonymously if he's revealing it?
How is this now anonymous?
Prince William👍😻
No matter what training they have had there is none better than knowing what hardship is the daily trudge of trying to make ends meet ,you get training to start life you live it and learn as you move on and pass on to others your experiences. What can these two really offer
The only coronavirus volunteer in the country out of the thousands that applied lol
Did you ask of they were having a ghastly time That voice as well is so condescending.
You don't actually have to be qualified or registered as a counsellor to practice counselling and as such anybody can do it. You can refer to yourself as either, it's not regulated.
BBCWorld What could he possibly know about the real world?
Hey guys, go easy. You know his mum died right ? He does a lot for charity stuff and things.
Not very anonymous
Who wants to talk to a posh twat about their problems
Why the need to reveal? Jesus, they're all as bad as each other. Just fuck off into oblivion the whole lot of you.
Really,why anonymously why not come on TV and counsel the whole country,I think that would be good job for you👏
BBCWorld He cant win. None of royalty can. Damned if they do. Damned if they dont. I think it is wonderful that he is involved. It brings a humanity to the monarchy.
So it's not anonymous then, is it? It's a publicity stunt
He can help some senior leaders👍
BBCWorld So anonymous we all know about it. Lame.
BBCWorld Slime.
What a sweetheart he is 💗
Good for him. Empathy and compassion are great qualities to foster in oneself.
wow you are so good do we really want to know that
BBCWorld For Armed Forces Recruiting?
KaylaAdams___ Go KensingtonRoyal
There has been a consistent PR campaign for William and his Mrs - a very positive and safe image for at least 4 years now. The heirs to the throne must be nervous that they could so easily be rejected when the Queen dies. These people do not have what it takes.
BBCWorld What bullshit. We have to go through years of training and PAY for courses. He just gets it handed to him. No wonder these people are so hated.
... 'Hello, is that the help line? I've got this uncle and he's done some really really bad stuff. He tells me not to sweat it but that's easy for him to say...'
Oh yea? How about counselling the victims of his uncles crimes and speaking out about the prevalent sexual abuse that runs within the royal circle?! His mothers life was taken because she tried to expose all of this! JusticeForDiana
I can hardly contain my indifference
He needs counselling for that slap head
If it was anonymous, isn't making it public defeating the purpose?🤦 RoyalFamily PrinceAndrew
Princess Megan is the queen this country needs I do verily declare
William is a practitioner not a counsellor. It takes years to become a counsellor but he’s doing a lovely thing. Please stop calling non qualified people counsellors it really undermines the years of training we go through. It’s like calling a first aider a dr.
huh?
BBCWorld Great work
BBCWorld This is problematic what post secondary education does Prince William have?
Why are you constantly shoving these irrelevant people down our throats?
BBCWorld okay and
Is he qualified to do so
On extra marital affairs I suspect
BBCWorld Ну и хари у вас!!! МАСЯ.
Watched the Mental health football related programme about Men on BBC & I was very impressed by William on how he understood & showed empathy which he was open about his Mum too.. Shame he’s a Villa fan but we all have our crosses to bear.. ✊
A true royal and some people are mad of course
Since when was he a qualified counsellor?
Prince Andrew or?
God bless them
On what? How to brazenly cheat on ur wife and get away with it.
whatever... How about he just grows the fuck up and stops pretending he's one of the masses..!?
BBCWorld You sir, have done your mother proud! I miss her dearly! Thank you from America!
Parasites
BBCWorld What has British done as a former regime? Shame on you!
That's lovely thankyou. It's nice to know you have been helping out. Im not massively into royalty but I think you will make a brilliant king. Kind, caring and compassionate. Ignore the hatey judgy people. From a mental health nurse. X
BBCWorld Wouldn't it be better to provide funding for actual qualified therapy services for people?
The level of creepy vibes i get from those humanoids cant even be put into words. 🤨
BBCWorld Yawn 🥱
BBCWorld
I knew her well from St Andrews, a right good ride👍
Why is the term ‘counselling’ always used when it clearly isn’t? I put oil in my car, it doesn’t make me a mechanic.
So now looking for praise are we? You're trying to hard bingo calling now counselling Why give up the anonymity starting to crave attention and praise? So well done Prince! By the way did you send your kids back to school/nursery that would have lead by example Bet you didn't!
Cheers Will, can't wait for your careful choice of words
Anonymous is it! Funny how he jumps on the Bandwagon? NeedyPrinceWilliam
BBCWorld Amazing! This is nice to see from the next generation of royals! Down to earth people
Top man!!
Why is he now revealing it?
BBCWorld “And remember, whenever you’re hungry, just ring the bell and a snack will be on the way!”
BBCWorld big fuckin deal
Such a beautiful couple
He must be furious with himself for making it public knowledge that he was doing something anonymously
That’s lovely. I’m glad to see he’s been helping others.
One day after that brilliant message from Meghan and we see Kate with a similar hairstyle and outfit....so predictable 🙄
Amazing couple
Poor people...
Class act. Nicely. 👍🏻
What a load of crap.
BBCWorld Pure angel 👼 fills me with hope and happiness 💓
Beautiful couple all of time
BBCWorld Given the many millions of tax free dollars he leaches off hard working taxpayers it’s the very least he can do
Example to follow 'Look what I'm doing, not what titles I have.' Amazing person and all his family.
Kate’s been helping me but she doesn’t like to talk about it
Aaaaand cue the dickheads!
BBCWorld And you are qualified because?....
Good work. People are suffering out there
Love them so much
It's not anonymous if you then go and 'reveal' it to BBC News
God poor them...
BBCWorld He is an excellent young man.
Probably his wife, after she found out about all the affairs he has had.
Would they not recognise his posh voice?
Well done William 💙
BBCWorld That's great society service given by the Duke 👍 keep your good work of counseling on 👋👋👋👋💙💚💚💙🙂
Hello? I share a house with my weird paedo uncle, I think my Nan might have ordered a hit on my mum and her Muslim boyfriend, and my sort of brother has fled the country due to the racist harassment of his wife. what should I do?
What the hell would he know about 'ordinary' people's problems? Never had to worry about anything in his life.
BBCWorld I’d rather leave it to Meghan and Red.
BBCWorld Lockdown is a dictatorship.
Pathetic negativity on the comments..person does good deed, gets abuse..what have you all done to help those in need?
What ever
Did any of Epstein and Andrews victims ask for help?
He's such an everyman.
Good cause, well done! 👍
I wonder if he advised a 'John Barron' to hide in the bunker a few days ago BunkerBoy
BBCWorld
That must be a come down from handling a chopper every day, and for William too.
The opposite of anonymous
May I have the phone number please?
