KATE Middleton and Prince William today threw their support behind a mental health charity as they hit the ground running for their second day in Ireland.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge smiled as they arrived at Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health to meet young people.

Mental health has long been a passion project for the couple with Kate Middleton recently putting herself “front and centre” to drive their foundation’s work.

And both Kate and Wills appeared keen to meet with young people at the charity this morning to talk about their experiences.

Kate, 38, wore a spotted blouse for the visit while Prince William, 37, kept in the Irish theme with a green jumper.

The rest of the day will see the couple visit Savannah House, a social justice charity residential facility.

The house, in County Kildare, supports vulnerable young people through challenging times.

And the couple will then head to a research farm to learn about sustainable farming across Ireland.

It comes after a busy day yesterday for the pair, who last night downed a pint of Guinness at the storehouse in Dublin.

It was there Prince William joked about coronavirus – the same day the Queen donned gloves for a Buckingham Palace investiture. 

The trip marks the first tour carried out by any member of the Royal Family after Brexit.

The trip comes as Prince Harry and Meghan return to the UK this week after quitting as royals and moving to Canada.

It was previously revealed concerns had been raised over the clash in schedules as the Sussexes arrived back home.

Meghan and Harry will attend the Endeavour Fund Awards in London on March 5, the last day of the Cambridges’ Ireland tour.
