They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.

Work to build awareness and understanding of mental health problems is a priority for the Cambridges. Prince William recently took part in an anti-bullying workshop run by the Diana Awards charity, while Duchess Kate visited the Anna Freud Centre in London to extend her work on the mental health of children.

Today, the royal couple meet young people who have battled their own mental health problems and now volunteer with Mind in Harrow or the anti-stigma campaign "Time to Change", to raise awareness about mental health with other young people.

To ensure the media focus stayed on today's important event, Kate opted to recycle her Tory Burch 'Paulina' dress.

She first wore it in 2014 during the Royal Tour of New Zealand. It premiered at the Plunket Society playdate with Prince George.

Kate accessorized with her usual combination of Mulberry 'Bayswater' clutch and Stuart Weitzman 'Power' pumps, both in black suede leather.

There was however a new addition to today's ensemble. Kate debuted the Kiki McDonough 'Lauren' yellow gold pave diamond leaf earrings (£2,200). These elegantly small 18ct yellow gold and pave diamond leaf motif drop earrings are from KIKI's new Lauren Collection inspired by the British ballerina Lauren Cuthbertson.
