A little boy handed Kate Middleton a posy of flowers and it melted our hearts

William and Kate have carried out a number of engagements in recent weeks which have focused on the causes and consequences of mental health problems.

Hundreds of well-wishers greeted their arrival in the royal town of Caernarfon.

First stop for the royal couple was the headquarters of Gisda, which was set up in 1985 to provide support and accommodation for homeless young people in the area.

Since its inception it has developed many other supporting projects for young vulnerable people aged between 14 and 25.

William and Kate met some of the charity’s users and volunteer staff at its catering training centre known as Te a Cofi.

The Duke and Duchess were given an overview of the services provided and learned it supports as many as 350 young people at any one time, and last year supported 2,000 youngsters in total.

Among the young people they met was Jessica Davies, 21, who has benefited from the charity’s Young Parents Project – a three-year scheme set up last year with funding from the Big Lottery Fund.

The project provides a meeting place for parents to give them training opportunities, build confidence, and help with various services and benefits.

Her three-year-old son, Theo Hayward, later presented a posy of flowers to the Duchess.

Jessica said: “Kate said she liked the colour and smell of the flowers, and William said he looked very smart.”

Kate wore an understated Reiss coat with some chic black, knee-high boots.
