The royal spoke at an event at Roe Green Junior School in London, meeting with students and teachers for a lesson in support of children’s mental health as part of the Heads Together campaign she started with Prince William and Prince Harry.
“We know that mental health is an issue for us all – children and parents, young and old, men and women – of all backgrounds and of all circumstances,” Middleton said in the speech.
“What we have seen first-hand is that the simple act of having a conversation about mental health – that initial breaking of the silence – can make a real difference. But, as you here today know: starting a conversation is just that – it’s a start.
“I see time and time again that there is so much to be gained from talking of mental health and taking the mental health of our children as seriously as we do their physical health. When we intervene early in life, we help avoid problems that are much more challenging to address in adulthood.”

Middleton also participated in activities and lessons with the students at the school. The Royal Foundation has funded the program to ensure support for children’s mental health and well-being with an £800,000 grant, which has so far been trialled at 50 schools in the U.K.
