Kate Middleton is back to work, promoting her "Shaping Us" campaign.

Today in Amos Grove, in North London, the Princess of Wales made a surprise appearance—her first engagement in over two weeks. For the occasion, she joined a group of fathers who call themselves the "Dadvengers." The Dadvengers are an online community that aims to support dads through parenthood. According to Kensington Palace, "It has a strong focus on mental wellbeing and supports new fathers in a variety of ways including through online training programmes, podcasts, and more recently the in-person ‘Dad Walks’. Dad Walks provide a new way for men to meet other fathers in their local community in an informal setting."

Kate joined the group on a "Dad Walk," and met with the group inside a local pub. "Fathers have a hugely significant role to play in their children’s lives, right from the start," Nigel Clarke, the founder of Dadvengers, said in a statement. "Even before their baby is born, fathers can get involved and Dadvengers is on a mission to support them to do that in ways that work for them.

He added, "We provide them with information and advice to help look after their own wellbeing, while also supporting them to build the nurturing relationships and surroundings we know are so important in the very earliest years of their children’s lives. It's what Dadvengers is all about."

Kate launched her "Shaping Us" campaign in January, to focus on the importance of early years. "It is essential, to not only understand the unique importance of our earliest years, but to know what we can all do to help raise future generations of happy, healthy adults," Kate said in a speech at the launch.
