Prince William quizzes police officers about how they look out for each other's mental health as he visits The Blue Light Hub in Milton Keynes

The Prince of Wales asked police officers about their mental health wellbeing during a visit to The Blue Light Hub in Milton Keynes this morning. 

William, 41, travelled to Buckinghamshire to highlight the importance of supporting the mental health of emergency responders during the week of World Mental Health Day.

The hub is is the operational base of South Central Ambulance Service, Thames Valley Police and Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service- and provides a safe space for workers given the traumatic events they may witness. 

The father-of-three toured the city's base for the emergency services, where he asked police officers about mental health 'attrition,' given the often-traumatic role. 

Officers told William that the close knit team has meant staff members 'know each other's demeanour', which allows them to look out for one another.

William also benefitted from a tour of The Blue Light Hub's facilities- and he seemed to take a keen interest in the fire trucks.

The heir to the throne was photographed taking a good look at the impressive vehicle- while chatting with staff members from the fire and rescue department.

Elsewhere, Prince William sat with staff from the emergency services in a circle to discuss the importance of mental wellbeing.

As the Prince of Wales is baring a key focus on the mental wellbeing of younger generations, the attendees included a student paramedic among other young police officers, and fire and rescue workers.

The father-of-three appeared focused while he addressed the staff members- who sat and listened intently.

For the occasion, the royal looked dapper in a navy suit, which he matched with a crisp blue shirt.

He matched the formal ensemble with a pair of black suede boots- adding to the smart look.

The visit follows William and Kate's pledge to mental health initiatives, which they are demonstrating with several engagements across the UK.

While William visited the inspirational hub, The Princess of Wales carried out an engagement with the same focus in Nottingham. 

Kate, 41, arrived at Nottingham Trent University this morning where she chatted to students about how they manage their wellbeing, as part of her continued work in the week of World Mental Health Day.

The mother-of-three opted for a cream £110 knitted top from one of her favourite brands, Sezane, with a matching skirt costing £135 - in a break from the stream of suits she has chosen on her recent public engagements as she visited the university's campus.

She paired her outfit with camel pumps and chose elegant teardrop pearl earrings, and wore her thick brunette locks tucked behind one ear. To accessorise, she carried her £350 Mini Holly Bag from Tusting.

Kate's solo visit to the university follows her joint engagement with Prince William in Birmingham yesterday, where the couple hosted a youth mental health forum with BBC Radio 1.

A group of police officers seemed particularly pleased to meet the heir to the throne- as one officer shook William's hand 

During a chat with students in which she touched on her time at university, in a video from Nottinghamshire Live, Kate revealed how she 'loves challenging herself' in the fields of music, sport and art.

She added it's something she encourages her own children do to, in 'trying out new things.

The Princess said: 'University, for me, was when I learnt to try out because there's so much on offer.'

She then joked: 'I'd love to be a student again!' to which the room erupted in laughter.

Focusing in on the type of activity to which she has always been drawn, Kate noted her love of sport, telling students, 'I love to be outside'.

In particular, she noted how she tried out hockey and tennis at St Andrews, where she met her future husband Prince William - but also developed her love of taking photos in the photography club too.

Never one to shy away from taking part in group activities, Princess Kate is also getting involved with the 'step in circle' - a workshop part of Nottingham Trent's induction programme for new students.

The method is used as part of the university's Welcome Workshop for new students. The aim of the workshop is to improve the confidence of the new arrivals and to let them know about the support networks and tools they have available.

Finally, Her Royal Highness will learn about how Nottingham Trent University is using data derived from student behaviour to identify those who may not be thriving.

The university has created a ‘dashboard’ which uses learning analytics to measure a student’s engagement with their course.

When a student stops engaging, this can indicate issues with their wellbeing and prompts the University to proactively reach out to understand the student’s reason for disengagement and help navigate them to appropriate support.

The information is also given directly to the students to help them manage their own learning and is used for personalised support and tutorial discussions with staff.
