In a heartfelt update, Princess Kate, the Princess of Wales, has shared news about her latest project, marking her first public engagement since revealing her cancer diagnosis in March.
The 42-year-old royal opened up about her health struggles during an emotional speech on March 22, where she disclosed that she is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.
This announcement came after a period of absence following scheduled stomach surgery in January, which was unrelated to her recent health concerns.
Initially, there were hopes that her condition was non-cancerous, but further pre-operative testing revealed the more serious diagnosis.
Since then, the Princess has been focused on her recovery while remaining committed to her royal duties.
In a bid to raise awareness around mental health, especially in the agricultural sector, Kate has released a trailer for a new film as part of Mental Health Week.
The film, which has been shared across the official social media accounts of the Prince and Princess of Wales, highlights the mental health challenges faced by British farmers.
Kate collaborated with Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and farmer Will to create this impactful piece.
She expressed her excitement about the project, stating that it was a special opportunity to shed light on a crucial issue.
In her post, Kate mentioned how she spent a day at Sam’s Hereford farm, engaging in discussions about the Duchy of Cornwall’s mental health strategy and the importance of support within the agricultural community.
Although Kate does not appear in the film, she and Prince William played a significant role in guiding its production, which is also available on YouTube for wider audiences to view.
This project was already in the works prior to Kate’s health challenges, according to reports from GB News.
The release of the trailer has garnered positive feedback, with viewers praising the royal couple for their dedication to raising awareness about mental health issues.
One viewer expressed deep appreciation for the visibility that the Prince and Princess of Wales bring to such important topics, saying, “I can’t even begin to say how much I love the awareness HRH The Prince and Princess of Wales brings to the issues surrounding mental health.”
Another commenter added their support with an enthusiastic “Excellent work!”
