In honour of World Mental Health Day, the Duchess of Cambridge joined her husband Prince William and brother-in-law Prince Harry on the London Eye for an event hosted by Head Together, to shine a spotlight on the important issue of mental health awareness.

Wills and Harry looked equally dapper in a coordinating navy suits with unbuttoned collared shirts underneath.

“Mental health is not a dirty word – we all have mental health like we do physical health, good or ill," William said in a speech at the event.

"But not seeking help at those times when it all seems too much, or we are depressed or anxious, can impact the rest of our lives. Put simply, the three of us want to make asking for help no longer a big deal."

Kate added, “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.

“William, Harry and I feel it is our duty to do what we can, with your help, to shine a spotlight on emotional wellbeing and highlight the support that is out there to prevent or manage the pain at difficult times.”

The 34-year-old mum-of-two is about to embark on her first solo royal engagement abroad.
