Prince Harry, Ricky Hatton, More A-List Personalities Share Deepest Secrets In 'Feel No Shame' AIDS Campaign
Despite being royalty which everyone assumes fear nothing especially when it comes to addressing a public crowd, Prince Harry just shared that his greatest fear is public speaking. The sharing of this intimate detail about himself is part of a greater World Aids Day campaign named "Feel No Shame" to remove the stigma associated with HIV. Aside from him, A-list celebrities such as Joss Stone, Gemma Arteron, Ricky Hatton, Nicole Scherzinger, and Paloma Faith also took time to reveal their deepest fears and secrets to support the campaign.
In a video released by his own charity Sentebale, Prince Harry bared his soul by sharing what he's most nervous about. In his video message, Prince Harry shared that he gets "incredibly nervous" before public speaking all the time, notwithstanding the size of the crowd. "And despite the fact that I laugh and joke all the time, I get incredibly nervous, if not anxious actually, before going into rooms full of people when I'm wearing a suit," the prince said.
Kate Middleton's brother-in law's revelation came after a series of revelations were made by A-list celebrities regarding their hard-kept secrets. Included in the celebrities were Joss Stone, Gemma Arteron, Ricky Hatton, Nicole Scherzinger, and Paloma Faith. Joss Stone shared that when she was a kid, she once wet herself in a shop after having too much tea. Gemma, on the other hand, admitted to have never seen any legendary "Star Wars" or "Back To The Future" films. Ricky Hatton bravely put his image as a fearless boxer on the line by admitting that he's scared senses of cats. Nicole, on the other hand, shared her insecurities of feeling she's not enough and not worth it.
The purpose of this campaign is to spread the message that no one should be ashamed of their secrets, no matter how unconventional and funny they may be. Sentenable was co-founded by Prince Harry. The "Feel No Shame" campaign was launched after he went around Lesotho and witnessed the dire circumstances of AIDS orphans, disabled children, as well as those living with HIV disease. The purpose of the campaign, in Prince Harry's words, is "to show our support for the children of Lesotho, and help reduce the stigma for all those affected by HIV." "We are turning this World Aids Day into a day in which no one should feel any shame about their secrets," Prince Harry added. Through this concerted effort, young people with the disease will not have to deal with rude comments on their conditions and enjoy the childhood they deserve.
