But perhaps most importantly, they must have the "ability to exercise tact and discretion and maintain confidentiality at all times."
This comes after Kate opened up about a "lonely and overwhelming time" to mark Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week.
The Duchess spoke about how many mothers feel “lonely and overwhelmed” during children's early years as she highlighted “vital work” to help stop people “suffering in silence."
She said, "The birth of a child is one of life’s greatest gifts. But it can also be one of the most challenging times for many families and one that should not be faced alone."
Kate added, “But we all know that pregnancy, childbirth, and the first months and years of a child’s life can be hugely demanding. Parents often feel lonely and overwhelmed by these early years. Around 20% of women in the UK are reported to experience perinatal mental illness. Sadly, we also know that many more are suffering in silence."
As a result, she affirmed, it’s “crucial” that everyone who might be struggling has access to the “right support at the right time”.
