The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were back in Northern Ireland on Wednesday for a day in Derry-Londonderry to hear from young people and local groups making positive change in the community.
The royal couple commenced their engagements at the Ulster University Magee Campus. They chatted with students returning to campus for the first time since the pandemic started.
Kate and William toured the Student Union to see the programs on offer to help new students settle in and also manage their mental health.
They then stopped by “KidzFarm,” a regular visitor to the campus, used to help students deal with anxiety. Kate was brave enough to hold a tarantula, while William handled a snake.
The Duke and Duchess also meet nursing and medical students to see how their studies are progressing.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall on the red carpet for the world premiere of “No Time to Die” at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday evening.
The star studded event benefited charities supporting serving and former members of the three intelligence agencies and charities supporting the special forces.
The royals meet actors Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux and Lashana Lynch, screenwriters including Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and “No Time To Die” performers Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell ahead of the screening.
The Duchess dazzled in a gold gown created by Jenny Packham.
The tulle gown is intricately embellished with tonal gold crystals, sequins and beads. The front has a plunging v-neckline, and the back features a long, floaty cape extending from the shoulders.
The custom design appears to take inspiration from Packham's 'Margot' (£2,800) and 'Elizabeth' (£3,640) gowns. The 'Margot' is available at Harrods and Farfetch, while the 'Elizabeth' is available at Net-A-Porter.
UPDATE: To celebrate the forthcoming 60th anniversary of James Bond, Jenny Packham has collaborated with EON Productions on an exclusive capsule collection of evening wear gowns.
