Kate Middleton

“All of us know someone who has been through difficult emotional times, and we know how hard it can be to see a way forward.”

“Parents, teachers, and other school staff need the tools to help these young people early in their lives. And the earlier, the better. It is proven that early action prevents problems later in life.”

“Every child deserves to grow up knowing their potential and feeling confident that they won't fall at the first hurdle - that they cope with life's setbacks.”

“Addiction is a hugely complex and destructive disease, and its impact can be simply devastating. All too often, lives and families can be shattered by it.”

“When I first visited the Hospice in Milton, I had a pre-conceived idea as to what to expect. Far from being a clinical, depressing place for sick children, it was a home. Most importantly, it was a family home, a happy place of stability, support and care. It was a place of fun.”

“Every time Wimbledon is on, I am thinking, 'Yes, I could do the same and get out the racket.' Sadly, not the same results.”

“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 have learned that delivering the best possible palliative care to children is vital, providing children and their families with a place of support, care and enhancement at a time of great need is simply life-changing.”

“There's no one quite like William - I bet he's really kind. You can just tell by looking at him.”

“I think there is a real art to walkabouts.”

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

“A child who has overcome challenges with proper emotional support will emerge stronger.”

“It's obviously nerve-wracking, because I don't know the ropes really, William is obviously used to it, but I'm willing to learn quickly and work hard.”

“When I was growing up, I was very lucky. My family was the most important thing to me. They provided me with somewhere safe to grow and learn, and I know I was fortunate not to have been confronted by serious adversity at a young age.”

“I'm still very much Kate.”

“No parent would fail to call the doctor if their child developed a fever.”

“There is no rule book, no right or wrong; you just have to make it up and do the very best you can to care for your family.”

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

“Personally, becoming a mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. However, at times it has also been a huge challenge. Even for me who has support at home that most mothers do not.”

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