In the footage, which has been posted on Kensington Palace’s social media accounts, Kate also meets a range of staff from the midwifery sector.
Mum-of-three Kate tells them: “As organisations, you are playing such a vital role.
“Giving key information, you are hugely trusted by the public. Therefore, the information you provide is a lifeline to a lot of people at this time.”
Raising awareness
One of the medics explains to Kate that it is important to “get the message out about mental health”.
He then urges new parents: “If you need help, get help.”
Kate also spoke to midwives about the impact that the coronavirus pandemic is having on them.
Babies come all the time, so the fact you have to work in these difficult times…well done.
She asked them how they were, saying: “There’s stress and anxieties out there for families anyway, but you’re still working and there’s extra pressure and worry.
“And also trying to wear very uncomfortable kit as well.
Kate added: “Babies come all the time, so the fact you have to work in these difficult times…well done.”
