Harry recently said the British press were “destroying his mental health.”

Prince Harry, who stepped back from the Royal Family in March last year, has reportedly accepted a new job offer at the coaching and mental health company BetterUp Inc, which was founded in 2003.

According to the Wall Street Journal, he is set to take on the role of chief impact officer at the US company.

In response to questions about his new role, he said he intends “to help create impact in people’s lives,” the WSJ reported.

“Proactive coaching provides endless possibilities for personal development, increased awareness, and an all-round better life,” he said.

This opportunity comes after the interview he and his wife Meghan Markle gave to Oprah Winfrey about their difficult time as senior members of the Royal family, with Meghan revealing that she experienced suicidal thoughts at times and did not receive the help she needed.

Harry also told James Corden in an interview that the British press were “destroying his mental health.”
