A Kensington Palace Spokesperson said: "The Duchess of Cambridge has made the mental health of young children a key focus of her work in recent years. She is delighted that The Huffington Post will help put a spotlight on this important issue.

By February, two-year-old George should be settled at nursery school – allowing his mother to turn her attention to the work that has become increasingly important to her. He is attending the Westacre Montessori School in the village of East Walton in Norfolk, near their country base Anmer Hall.

In a recent interview, William gave a clue about how their children have affected their outlook recently admitting that he is "a lot more emotional since becoming a father. "You well up a little more, you get affected by the sort of things that happen around the world or whatever a lot more, I think, as a father," he said.
