The royal joined a group of celebrities who also support the campaign including Nicole Scherzinger, Gemma Arterton, Paloma Faith and more in sharing personal secrets that have caused them shame.

The #FeelNoShame campaign is closely related to Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho's Senteble charity, an organization that looks to help children who are victims of extreme poverty and the HIV epidemic in Lesotho.

"One tragic issue in particular is the shame and stigma linked to HIV," Harry says in a clip about his organization's work. "This causes thousands of children to needlessly die because they're keeping their illness a secret."
