Kate Middleton

Well I think if you really go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very, very well, you go through the good times, you go through the bad times. You know both personally, but also within a relationship as well.

I often get asked why I decided to spend time highlighting the mental health of children.

Since beginning my work in areas like addiction, for example, I have seen time and time again that the roots of poor mental health in adulthood are almost always present in unresolved childhood challenges.

We have seen that two heads are better than one when dealing with a mental health problem.

Together with open conversations and greater understanding, we can ensure that attitudes for mental health change and children receive the support they deserve.

Change the way we all talk to each other about our mental health.

A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health and deserves the same quality of support.

With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.

I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas. And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present. I was thinking, 'Gosh, what should I give her?'. I thought, 'I'll make her something.' Which could have gone horribly wrong. But I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney.

It is our duty, as parents and as teachers, to give all children the space to build their emotional strength and provide a strong foundation for their future.

Around a third of parents still worry that they will look like a bad mother or father if their child has a mental health problem. Parenting is hard enough without letting prejudices stop us from asking for the help we need for ourselves and our children.

Parenting is tough.

I hope we will be able to have a happy family ourselves.

Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.
