Catherine puts a lot of her time and efforts into working towards tackling mental health issues, with a particular focus on children’s mental health.

Earlier this month, the Duchess attended the Royal Foundation’s ‘Mental Health in Education’ conference where she met with professionals and academics who work in mental health and education. It was discussed how best to deal with mental health in schools.

Both Prince William and Catherine have had very busy starts to the year and fans of the couple are delighted to hear the couple have a joint engagement in the diary. One person said, ‘Yaaay can’t wait to see them together again.’

The big question is, will they be tempted to go on the rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach?

I guess we will have to wait and see!
