Prince William and wife Catherine have paid a visit to the BBC in London to see first-hand the work the broadcaster is doing to prevent cyber-bullying.
The royals arrived at the national broadcaster’s headquarters in the middle of a full-blown political crisis, with Prime Minister Theresa May struggling to hang on to her job after a slew of ministerial resignations over her planned Brexit deal.
Diplomatically avoiding the political debate, the royal couple paid tribute to the BBC’s work as members of the Taskforce for the Prevention of cyber-bullying, convened by Prince William in 2016.
The couple have chosen mental health and wellbeing of young people as one of their main charitable priorities.
During their visit they met young people who wrote and performed in a video promoting a new code of conduct to provide guidance on what people should do if they witness bullying online.
They were also there to meet parents and children who were helping to guide the latest technology developments from the BBC which aim to help young people online.
The taskforce, supported by the Royal Foundation, the main charity of Prince William, Catherine, and Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, focuses on young people aged 11-16.
The taskforce also includes members of big tech companies including Facebook, Google, Snapchat and Twitter.
After turning out in stunning diamonds and a pink gown to attend her father-in-law Prince Charles’ 70th birthday last night at Buckingham Palace, Catherine went back to her usual elegant, professional look, wearing a beautiful green dress with a pleated skirt by designer Emilia Wicksted. She last wore the dress in 2015.
