Prince William and Princess Kate shared a meaningful message just hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle showed their solidarity with Britons going through a painful time.
While the Welsh and the Sussexes may not be on good terms, they are brought together by their shared concerns for children and their well-being.
The Prince and Princess of Wales supported the message of Place2b, a charity dedicated to children’s mental health, as they marked an important date.
“Belonging matters,” the message began. “It shapes who we are in our friendships, in school and education, and in our communities. And it plays a vital role in our physical and mental health and well-being.”
It noted that when they feel they only belong, they can be empowered to “contribute to the world and thrive”.
The statement also emphasized the importance of adult presence from early years and how “meaningful moments” and relationships can lay the foundations for “social and emotional skills to flourish”.
It also helps “build trust and emotional security” and plays an “important role” in making them “feel accepted and valued”.
The video ended with a crucial message: “So we invite you to take a moment and look at the young people around you, your family, your friends, your community and ask, ‘What can I do today to help children and young people feel truly seen, heard and valued?’ Because when we create genuine moments of connection, we give children the foundation to thrive.”
The message had just come after Harry was particularly tearful when he met the bereaved parents of the children who lost their lives due to the negative effects of social media.
Harry and Meghan assured them it was important to tell their stories “again and again” and remain hopeful to find “truth, justice and accountability”.
