Kate Middleton has taken a step back from her public appearances in the royal spotlight, mostly due to her cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment this year. However, the Princess of Wales has now made headlines again with a heartfelt return. She has just dropped a new trailer for a film that puts the focus on mental health, particularly within the farming community.
The short film marks her first official project since going silent due to her health condition, and it’s made in collaboration with Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and the Farmer Will. The trailer aims to open up conversations about mental health among the United Kingdom’s farmers and make no mistake, Kate Middleton’s footprint in the film is unmistakably present!
This heartfelt trailer came just in time for Mental Health Week, marking a clear position about Kate Middleton’s dedication to speaking up and combating mental health issues. For that reason, Prince William and Kate joined forces with Sam Stables to launch the Duchy’s Mental Health Strategy, expanding this initiative to help farmers in the UK with mental health conditions.
This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we've brought together the inspirational Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and the brilliant Farmer Will for a very special film.

To celebrate the release of this short film, the Prince and Princess of Wales posted the clip, describing it with:
“This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we’ve brought together two incredible individuals for a very special film.”
Despite stepping back from the royal spotlight, Kate Middleton’s commitment to her royal duties and her will to stand up for a noble cause, remain intact. Reportedly, this project began before The Princess’ health issues were publicly disclosed. Since then, the royal family has kept a low profile, with Prince William and Queen Camilla taking on most royal duties and King Charles taking small steps into his regal commitments again.
