The Duchess spoke to Mila on the phone a few months ago following her image being selected as one of the final 100 for the HoldStill project - hoping one day that they’d meet and wear their pink dresses together.

To mark Remembrance and Royal British Legion’s centenary, The Duchess met 10 year old Cub Scout Emily and 98 year old veteran Colonel Blum to discuss the vital importance of Remembrance across generations. "It was a true honour to spend time with Colonel Blum and be able to thank him for the sacrifices he made for our country. Speaking to him highlighted again to me why Remembrance is so important, and why we must pay our gratitude to those who have fought and died so we could live in peace today. We must keep their stories alive for generations to come, including young people such as Emily. C"

In this personal conversation, which was recorded last week, The Duke, Will and Chloe share their experiences of working as emergency responders and the mental health impact that this can have. They also discuss coping mechanisms and the need for emergency responders to be given the tools and support to be able to cope. The film will be played at today's Symposium, which will see 200 leaders from across fire, ambulance, police, and search and rescue from all four nations come together for the first time to address the mental health of their workforces

Supporting the mental health of our emergency services is extremely personal to me. I often think about my time working for RAF Search and Rescue and the East Anglia Air Ambulance. I am therefore delighted to announce that senior leaders representing the national bodies have today signed the Mental Health at Work Commitment on behalf of emergency services right across the UK. This is an unprecedented agreement, and it sends a powerful message to all emergency responders that mental health is, and will remain, a firm priority for the UK’s emergency services.

Watch The Duchess of Cambridge and Tom Walker perform 'For Those Who Can't Be Here' at Westminster Abbey for Royal Carols: Together At Christmas. The performance took place in The Chapter House inside Westminster Abbey in December 2021. The song was played as part of the Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, a carol service that reflected upon the difficult past 18 months for people across our nation, and particularly for those who might be more vulnerable, isolated or have limited access to support. #TogetherAtChristmas was a moment to recognise those who have struggled during the pandemic, as well as to celebrate the individuals and organisations who carried out inspirational acts of kindness and incredible feats to help those in need in our communities.
