Prince William says becoming a parent tipped him 'over the edge' and took a toll on his mental health

The Duke of Cambridge revealed that he 'never thought' his job would affect him 'too much' but that changed when he became a father
UPDATED NOV 21, 2018

Prince William has now joined the list of parents who have experienced first hand how having children can change everything and the 36-year-old Duke of Cambridge opened up about mental health while at the 'This Can Happen' Conference in London on Tuesday. 

At the conference, Prince William got candid about his days as an air ambulance pilot which he had done both before and after he and his wife Kate Middleton had three children together — five-year-old Prince George, three-year-old Princess Charlotte, and six-month-old Prince Louis. William revealed that he "never thought" his job would affect him "too much" but that changed when he became a father and "worked several times on traumatic jobs involving children."
