While Kate doesn’t appear in the video, she played a pivotal role in its production alongside Prince William. Recently, during a visit to the Isles of Scilly, Prince William reassured the public that his wife is “doing well” as she continues her recovery, reports Birmingham Live.

These reassuring words come after Kate took a step back from her Royal engagements, with her last public outing being on Christmas Day. A Royal enthusiast responded to the clip with enthusiasm, commenting: “Can’t even begin to say how much I love the awareness HRH The Prince of Wales brings to the issues surrounding Mental Health.”

One added: “This is such a truthful and heartbreaking story of life on a farm, life on a farm is all consuming and there is very little time for yourself, and it can and is very isolating so it is wonderful to see William highlighting the challenges farmers feel.”

Another added: “I love that the video is centered on an issue that very few of us know about and the impact on the farming community. Thank you to the Prince and Princess of Wales. There are so many issues that they have used their platform to highlight that I have wanted to learn more about.”
