The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have undertaken their first joint in-person engagement of 2021 , visiting School21 in east London in support of Mentally Healthy Schools.
During their visit, on March 11, William and Kate spoke with students who were outside playing. Kate was seen at a sandbox asking a little boy if he’d found any treasure while William helped a little girl build a wall at the construction area, telling people that he was just “doing what I was told.”
Kensington Palace noted in a press release that William and Kate’s visit coincided with the launch of Mentally Healthy Schools resources for secondary schools and FE colleges and that they spoke to teachers to hear about how the programme is helping them to place mental health at the forefront of their school’s curriculum.
Aides had earlier insisted he would not be answering questions about the mental health of sister-in-law Meghan or about former staff who complained about their treatment.
One aide had said to reporters before the school visit: They won t be answering questions and they d rather you didn t ask them. In a school environment it s not appropriate.
But, as the couple departed, several questions were fired at them and, unlike his father Prince Charles earlier this week, William chose to answer.
It was perhaps telling that he and his brother still had not spoken four days after the jaw-dropping, two-hour TV show.
Meghan also complained to ITV bosses about the former co-host of Good Morning Britain after he said on-air that he didn t believe a word of her interview with chat show host Oprah Winfrey.
William yesterday became the first senior Windsor to address directly the string of allegations made by Harry and Meghan in their explosive Oprah Winfrey interview.
