Prince Harry for helping to break the "unfortunate" stigma around mental health.Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the best pal of entertainment mogul Simon Cowell, 58, spoke about Harry's decision to share his mental health struggles on TV, despite these conversations having a "trashy" reputation.Speaking to Express.co.uk, Paul praised the flame-haired Royal for candidly opening up on his mental health.The hypnotist said: "When [Harry] started talking about mental health now, it's great, we've got a proper debate about it."And, you know, there's a whole emphasis in our culture on being kinder to people."But yes, just by talking about it, first of all, it's a good thing," he stated.The star branded his openness "encouraging", especially given the stigma surrounding mental health issues.Paul explained: "And also admitting that they've been through a challenge, I think, is an encouraging thing."And, you know, in America for years, people were quite happy to wash their emotional, dirty laundry, on these daytime TV shows."But it was always seen as a bit trashy, which is unfortunate," he added.However, he went on to state that by speaking freely about his mental health, Harry helps other people with theirs."Because on a positive note, where people are prepared to say, 'I've been through this, I've come out the other side,' it says to other people, you can too, and it's okay not to feel okay," Paul said.The best-selling author has previously praised the Royal for discussing his mental health following his stint in the army.Once again, Paul told how the Duke of Sussex's experiences of battling mental health struggles have allowed people to relate to him and find his admissions "comforting".He said: "But if you go back a few

Ambivalent, about Piers."He's an extraordinary character."The author went on to praise the star for his honesty while speaking to him on his podcast.Paul went on: "So the other thing is that he's very honest."And my job is not to sort of catch someone out or anything like that."I, if anything, I'm on their side, I want to show people," he revealed.Last year, the former GMB host walked out of a live broadcast after clashing with weatherman Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.Addressing the fall-out, Paul defended the former Life Stories star, adding that he should have been allowed to voice his thoughts on the landmark interview.He said: "So I always say with regard to Piers [is that] he's got a right to have an opinion and

Hollywood lifestyle in Los Angeles and move back to the UK after a decade in the States.Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the best-selling author, 58, revealed why he decided to return to London after putting his £8 million Hollywood Hills luxury home on the market in 2017.The star and his wife Kate moved back to London after 10 years of living the LA lifestyle.Speaking about that period in his life, Paul said: "I was in Hollywood for 10 years and loved it, it was absolutely fantastic."It was one of the most exciting times of my life."However, the star explained that living in the city was a completely different experience to living in the UK.He said: "But, you know, Los Angeles is not just a location, it's an ontology, it's a state of mind."And if you're going to live there and prosper there, you have to think in an entirely different way to the way we do here."It has a different set of values," he added.Paul also told how it was difficult to carve out "real" friendships in Tinseltown, explaining that he and Kate decided to move back to the UK where their friends live.He went on: "It's hard to make real friends in a place like Los Angeles, you can make a lot of acquaintances."But we decided we'd pop back and we started spending time here, we're actually we prefer it back here."And at the same time, a number of my friends have moved back."Addressing his decision to move back to England, Paul said: "Right now, I think London's the most happening city in the world, despite everything that's going on.He said: "The British countryside is incredibly beautiful, so as much as I love the United States, I love the UK more."And most of my friends are here in Europe as well."So, so that's kind of, you know, what was behind the

So you have to be really careful," he warned.Addressing Harry's comments again, Paul added: "And I'm sure he said it well-intentioned."(sic)Speaking with business magazine Fast Company last month in his role as chief impact officer at mental health company BetterUp, the royal explained why he was "celebrating" the pandemic fuelling job resignations.Harry said: "I've actually discovered recently, courtesy of a chat with [BetterUp science board member] Adam Grant, that a lot of the job resignations you mention aren't all bad."In fact, it is a sign that with self-awareness comes the need for change."Many people around the world have been stuck in jobs that
