Price William rushes to the aid of dignitary after dramatic fall

After Jonathan Douglas-Hughes, Vice Lord Lieutenant of Essex, took a tumble, William rushed to his aid and helped the man back on his feet – all while Kate stood to the side, presumably lending her emotional support.

Mr Douglas-Hughes turned to William and said “Sorry about that”, and the Duke replied “No, it’s all right”.

Perhaps inspired by this week’s New York Fashion Week, the Duchess wore a blue spotty dress by the American label, which was founded by Joseph Altuzarra in 2008. Douglas-Hughes appeared to be uninjured after the fall. The aim of the campaign is to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly in children.

“For many of you who have just made the move, this will have been a positive and happy experience”.

“Now, they’re so many, plus they have exams, plus they have expectations to do well, plus they have friends to make – it’s a lot of layers”.

There were also lighter moments during the discussion when William told the parents how “very perceptive” youngsters could be.

The 72-year-old said after the dramatic episode: “I’m fine thank you”. A little different from her usual conservative style sense, the £1,728 patterned design showed off an extensive amount of leg and featured a button down style. They met with pupils and parents to see how the children are supported through changes.

Stewards Academy is one of the schools supported by Place2Be, one of the team of charities brought together for the Heads Together campaign being spearheaded by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry to change the conversation on mental health from shame to support.

The three of them are also collaborating with different organisations and charities in the mental health sector. “The opposite of talking is isolation and fear”. Sometimes getting something off your chest is an important step in coping with a situation, so you know that you’re not alone.
