Parenting is tough.

I'm still very much Kate.

I find doing speeches nerve wrecking.

I don't know if I have a favorite color.

It's very special having a new little girl.

The attitudes towards mental health must change

We want to encourage people to talk to one another.

Not all children have the anchor of a strong family.

I hope we will be able to have a happy family ourselves.

I think, the people around home are very supportive to us.

Change the way we all talk to each other about our mental health.

George loves the T Rex because it's the noisiest and the scariest.

No, I had the Levis guy on my wall, not a picture of William, sorry.

A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health.

No parent would fail to call the doctor if their child developed a fever.

Being able to go into Wimbledon and be part of an amazing atmosphere is special.

A child who has overcome challenges with proper emotional support will emerge stronger.

I often get asked why I decided to spend time highlighting the mental health of children.

We have seen that two heads are better than one when dealing with a mental health problem.

There's no one quite like William - I bet he's really kind. You can just tell by looking at him.

A huge amount still needs to be done. At the moment hundreds of children are still malnourished.

William and I feel that every child deserves to be supported through difficult times in their lives.

We need to help young people and their parents understand that it's not a sign of weakness to ask for help.

You go from thinking of yourself as primarily an individual to suddenly being a mother, first and foremost.

By far the best dressing up outfit I ever had was a wonderful pair of clown dungarees, which my Granny made.

A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health and deserves the same quality of support.

Sadly, for some mothers, this experience can be made so much harder due to challenges with our very mental health.

Having a child, particularly your first child, is such a life-changing moment. Nothing can really prepare you for that.

Every time Wimbledon is on, I am thinking, 'Yes, I could do the same and get out the racket.' Sadly, not the same results.

There is no rule book, no right or wrong; you just have to make it up and do the very best you can to care for your family.

Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.

The challenge that so many people have is not knowing how to take that first step of reaching out to another person for help.

I feel enormously proud to be part of East Anglia's Children's Hospices and to see the wonderful life-changing work that you do.

Some children are tackling tough times without the support that can help them because the adults in their life are scared to ask.

We have heard time and time again in the course of our work how talking can help heal the hidden challenges we can't deal with alone.

The Queen was really thrilled that we'd had a little girl, and when we came back here to Kensington, she was one of her first visitors.

The most memorable engagement for me, I suppose, was an away-day to Leicester. I went without William, so I was rather apprehensive about that.

I was quite nervous about meeting William's father, but he was very, very welcoming, very friendly, it couldn't have gone easier really for me.

I was lucky. My parents and teachers provided me with a wonderful and secure childhood where I always knew I was loved, valued, and listened to.

With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.

It's obviously nerve-wracking, because I don't know the ropes really, William is obviously used to it, but I'm willing to learn quickly and work hard.

Addiction is a hugely complex and destructive disease, and its impact can be simply devastating. All too often, lives and families can be shattered by it.

Every child deserves to grow up knowing their potential and feeling confident that they won't fall at the first hurdle - that they cope with life's setbacks.

Patriarchy's chief institution is the family. It is both a mirror of and a connection with the larger society; a patriarchal unit within a patriarchal whole.

It is our duty, as parents and as teachers, to give all children the space to build their emotional strength and provide a strong foundation for their future.

Together with open conversations and greater understanding, we can ensure that attitudes for mental health change and children receive the support they deserve.

Everyone teases me in the family that I spend far too long chatting. So I think I've still got to learn a little bit more and to pick up a few more tips, I suppose.

Around-the-clock support is crucial for children receiving palliative care. They and their families often need help every hour of every day, both in hospices and at home.

My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life.

We hope to encourage George and Charlotte to speak about their feelings, and to give them the tools and sensitivity to be supportive peers to their friends as they get older.
