Kate is well into her guest editing role at the Huffington Post UK, and she seems to be thriving in her day on the job. The Duchess of Cambridge used her first blog post written for the site to explain the purpose of her new Young Minds Matter initiative, sharing her hopes for growing Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The 34-year-old said that her role as Patron of a number of different charities, including Place2Be and Action on Addiction has helped her to see that many problems in adulthood stem from unresolved childhood issues.

Kate continued to say that as parents, she and Prince William will encourage their children to discuss their feelings openly as they grow up to maintain their mental wellbeing.

"Like most parents today, William and I would not hesitate to seek help for our children if they needed it," Kate wrote. "We hope to encourage George and Charlotte to speak about their feelings, and to give them the tools and sensitivity to be supportive peers to their friends as they get older.
