Along with The Royal Foundation, and in partnership with The Mix, Prince William and Princess Kate held a forum for young people in Birmingham.
The pair spoke to young people about mental health and held workshops and discussions to mark World Mental Health Day.

Kate gave a speech and said that they are hoping to "shape fairer, safer, kinder, more equal societies", according to the BBC.
It’s great to see these future monarch’s continuing to engage with young people and their mental health.
