The Duke of Sussex and Ed Sheeran have teamed up for World Mental Health Day, saying "there's no need to suffer in silence".
In a video shared to Instagram, the two have a staged chat about a misunderstanding of what they are meeting to talk about - Sheeran thinks he is there to write a song to raise awareness about being ginger.
He says: "I just feel like it's time we stood up and said 'We're not going to take this any more. We are ginger - and we're gonna fight'."
Cue Harry: "This is slightly awkward."
The duke explains their collaboration is actually about World Mental Health Day, prompting the camera to show Sheeran deleting the words "Gingers Unite" in large, bold capitals on his laptop screen.
Also visible on the screen are Sheeran's notes, including: "HRH Prince Harry and the king of ging Ed Sheeran get together to change the perception of people with Moroccan sunset hair."
The clip then cuts to the pair sitting next to each other on the sofa, with Prince Harry speaking directly to the camera.
He says: "Guys, this World Mental Health Day, reach out, make sure that your friends, strangers - look out for anybody that might be suffering in silence.
"We're all in this together."
The caption for the video on the Sussex's Instagram explains: "Both Prince Harry and Ed Sheeran want to ensure that not just today but every day, you look after yourself, your friends and those around you.
"There's no need to suffer in silence, share how you're feeling, ask how someone is doing and listen for the answer.
"Be willing to ask for help when you need it and know that we are all in this together. #WMHD".
Raising awareness of mental health has been a key target for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their Cambridge counterparts, who joined forces to narrate a TV advert that aired earlier this week.
Around 6,000 people across the UK and Ireland take their own lives each year, according to the Samaritans, with tens of thousands more attempting suicide.
