Prince Harry and Megan Markle joined a group of Californian teenagers on their podcast to mark World Mental Health Day.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will speak with high school students, Gael, Kayla and Thomas on their 'Teenager Therapy' broadcast, which air online today at 5pm.

They are expected to discuss the importance of prioritising mental health, removing the stigma around the issue, and how everyone can contribute to a healthier world.

The broadcast was recorded earlier this week in the area of Santa Barbara where the Sussexes now live, and with everyone socially distanced and wearing masks.

It normally features five senior students, from Loara High School in the Orange County city of Anaheim, who have candid conversations about a range of topics from mental health, school and family to friendships and sexuality.

The duke and duchess learned about Teenager Therapy from a New York Times profile on the hosts and show a few months ago.

Meghan and Harry logged on and were impressed with the show and wanted to support their work.

The couple may have recorded the podcast on Tuesday, the day they were spotted going out to dinner with actress Katharine McPhee, thought to be an old school friend of the duchess, and her husband David Foster a music producer.

McPhee and Foster recently announced they are expecting a baby, and reports claimed the intimate night held in Santa Barbara was to celebrate their good news.
