Kate Middleton health: Princess of Wales issues first major update on project since cancer diagnosis

Princess Kate has announced an update on a new project – marking the first she has been involved in since her cancer diagnosis.

The Princess of Wales posted a trailer for a short film which highlights the mental health challenges faced by Britain’s farmers.

It is Kate’s first official project since she announced she was in the early stages of treatment after a cancer diagnosis.

The teaser was released on The Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media accounts as part of Metal Health Week.

Writing on her official account, she said: “This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we’ve brought together the inspirational Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and the brilliant Farmer Will for a very special film.

“Spending a day together on Sam’s farm in Hereford they chatted about mental health in the farming community, finding support and the Duchy of Cornwall’s Mental Health Strategy.”

The film is now available in full on YouTube.

The Princess of Wales does not feature in the film but was produced under the guidance of herself and Prince William.

It is believed that the production was in development before Kate’s health deteriorated.

Last September, the Waleses met Stables at his farm.

The Duchy of Cornwall’s Mental Health Strategy was then launched.

Work between the duchy and Stables continues in a bid to help support of farmers across the country.

Last week, during a visit to the Isles of Scilly, William said that Kate was “doing well” in her recovery process.

It comes after Kate stepped back from royal duties to focus on her health.
