Coronavirus lockdown is"stressful" for many people and it is important to look after mental health, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have said.
"If we are going to go forward with more time spent in lockdown, then there is going to be an ever-increasing need for people to look after their mental health and take it seriously and also know where to go to get the support they might need," he said.The Duchess and Duke want to encourage people to access mental health support during the coronavirus breakout
"It's important that other people aren't forgotten and those who do need help, and do need support, and haven't necessarily ever had to think about their mental well-being, start to do that in this weird climate we're in," he said. He said NHS workers often have to absorb the pain and loneliness of coronavirus patients and"take it home to their families".
William and Catherine have spent a fair bit of time talking to hospital workers over the past few weeks and it is clear from their tone that it has affected and alarmed them. They are sounding the alert now for mental health assistance for those at the sharpest end of this crisis.

RE_DailyMail Their body language is bad.
The fact that organisations like Mind are unable to take new cases until further notice and offer no online counselling...the people who are struggling the most and simply can't afford private therapy should be thought of and smth needs to be actually - done already.
I’m sorry, but I do not trust these Two. When your very own younger brother and sister-in-law almost had a public mental breakdown due to press harassment, where was the “support”? humans are the most deceptive creatures, I swear.
RE_DailyMail Yeah like all the money worries they're going through living in big mansions like the rest of us, Nonsense. abolishthemonachy.
Imagine those who have lost their jobs, homes and have no foods..., can't pay their bills. Parasites!
BBC -Royal propaganda machine. You know what makes it even more stressful? The memory of Will the pill laughing dismissively and making fun of people concerned about the virus
So how many quarantine babies should we expect in 40 weeks? Maybe a new sibling for George, Charlotte and Louis.
It must be awful with the nanny looking after the kids, the butler serving your food. One must be so stressed waiting for next smoked salmon sandwich! Looking out over one’s estate. You don’t know what stress is!

As I said to a friend earlier, doesn’t matter if you’re isolating in a one-bed flat or a £2m mansion, it’s still isolation. And that can be tough on anyone.
Yup. We're all going bonkers.
Wish this headline said what the article says. Essentially ‘Royal Couple encourage those suffering with mental health issues to get available help.’ That’s a good thing.
Maybe to help people, the royals should open up their gardens to the local public so they can enjoy a bit of space to walk.
If we people are supporting these two and their mental health and charity, i don’t get why everyone made fun of Sam Smith’s lockdown photos or Harry and Meghan’s charity thing.
Dead is worse
Must be with those huge house and Gardens you have to walk around.
You don't say with your 8 million square yards house and garden, try living in a block of flats then you'll really know what fuckin stress and depression are!!!!
try telling your free roaming, privelaged father the stay at home. you royals are a wate of public funds
The young Royals have it exactly right. People are used to being busy and being social so this is very hard but oh so necessary. Just stay home.
For regular people, crammed together, living on top of each-other in tiny living spaces, yeah. Not this lot, with everything they could possibly ever need!!
Must be hard in a fuck off mansion with no worries about paying rent and bills while not earning money
I find the lockdown a lot easier if i had a little house with a garden
Stressful!? Are they taking the piss!? Stress like his brother was under from media hounding stressful? Kindly go and sit down and read a book.
Great and timely message. We've just launched a free emotional support video session service to help people feel less isolated. Check us out if you fancy a chat!
Bloody infuriating parasites.
I feel happy that I am alive and still have food on the table
It may be stressful, but certainly not as stressful as this deadly disease killing thousands worldwide daily, and for the NHS, Police, Care Workers, Retail Staff etc who are fighting on the frontlines!
I bet things are just horrible in the big castle.
Ah bless. My pillow will be damp with tears tonight.🙄
This is really misleading headline. They said how stressful it is for millions of families.
This is unfortunately only the start of what will be a long and stressful time for so many families. Support, understanding and practical help will be very important. Just hope our stoic resistance and sense of humour will see us through these extremely difficult times.
How the hell would that privileged couple know!?! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I thought they came across very well.
Poor buggers endallarchaicinstitutions so we don't have to listen to these people
RE_DailyMail So happy to.see them
I bet they are not looking through the freezer and cupboards to see what’s for tea
Now they're mental health experts? It must be great to be royal.
Must be hard being in lockdown in their palace, Kensington Palace?
Aren’t we told they are an essential part of the economy? Essential workers maybe? I suppose the lockdown prevents them from doing all those tedious jobs of going out meeting the people, opening the umpteenth supermarket and having gala dinners
Both are involved in the mental health charity Heads Together, speaking for those people in lockdown which can be isolating with no other people to talk to. Mental health affects all walks of life & status. Some people are alone with no access to help at this time.
Blah blah what do they know about struggling for anything . So annoying
Did any of the commentators actually read the article
Kate would normally be swanning about in different dresses for every day, or hour of the week, costing fortunes. Now they're BORED they've taken to writing articles in the paper from their ivory tower whilst their Keepers make sure they never have to go out and catch Covid_19
These comments reflect the mental state of Britain and it's tragic, reading the article won't help it's too late, many people in Britain have gone feral.
Never mind mental or economic health. I will just keep the sheep under house arrest while I destroy the economy. Maximum economic destruction. To hell with civil liberties. Pass the debt to our children.
Imagine the uproar if Meghan and Harry had an article written with the same headline in....WorldWarThree
Looks like he’s been pulling his hair out!
vicderbyshire It must be dreadful for them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who wants to hear their opinion? Not me..
Yea, they really care.....not. Must be a quiet news day for them.
What is wrong with raising mental health awareness and does it matter who raises it? Those that don't read the article just to abuse the royals might as well be abusing anyone with mental health issues.
From their mega mansion? I’m feeling for them
Mmm yeah ivory clad opinions
Well I think they seem lovely sincere people, they r just human after all, they have lovely young kids and to say he will be king one day I think he’s a fantastic example,they have a job to do but they remain sincere :)
Can we expect a “lockdown baby” addition to the Royal Family stressrelief
BBC could have written a headline not making people freak out about how the Duchess had to retract into the west wing, yet they chose not to. Why?
THoughts. Prayers etc

Go check on Andy please
For me, keeping structure, keeping busy, volunteering and exercising lots has kept my anxieties at bay so far. It’s too easy to slip into depression if the mind and body is inactive. Today my day is planned. Bike ride, kitchen tidy, finish week 5 of law course and yoga.
Meh
Linked to them whats even more nasty is that they have now started on meghans mum doria
Did he think about his own brothers mental health when he allowed his fans like murkymeg and superscuba83 to bully meghan and harry creating vile vidoes calling archie fake and not real calling harry and meghan awful names bullying charitys just because harry and Meghan
Try having 65 yr old partner forced to work ShieldOver60sWorkers
Must be really hard in their palace with all their stuff and being able to have anything.
We are an Egyptian family of asylum seekers in Malaysia. We are suffering from a lack of food for my children in Malaysia and no one supports us. 🙏
I don't think so. Why there is a prison? Does the prison effect the mental health, then it shouldn't be used as a way of correcting behavior.
If they wish to opine on subjects on subjects in which they have no qualifications, or expertise, let them do so. However, no reason why they should have privilege or public funding. Time to disestablish the monarchy and reallocate Crown Estate assets to the NHS.
The stress for many isn’t just the mind but also the body. Worries about job security, financial, relatives... and more can lead to blood pressure, heart strain, chest & muscle strain.. health wise unfortunately there is more to come
For so long MH has been a 'taboo' subject that not many people have felt able to be open and talk about.Kate & William are doing absolutely the right thing by using their high profile position to draw attention to MH issues *cue tedious comments re castles & servants etc etc 🙄*
What about prisoners, why are they making a big deal about this you still go to Asada, you still go to parks, you still walk your dogs, most the hours you are watching stressful news thats why mental health is going to be a problem
So many bitter people
Must be tough living in a mansion (with all expenses paid by the taxpayer)?!
On your 1000 acre palace....wow....🙄
We aren't locked down though
That’s it’s worse than the corona. Many will survive the virus but not all stress and fear! trumpIsRight
What the fuck do they know about stress?
Glad he’s now stopped joking about the virus.....
It’s got to be much easier in a huge country house with acres of gardens for you and your kids to relax in than living in a two bedroomed flat on high floors of a tower block in an inner city.
Put a Doctor up if you want to do a piece on mental health. These parasites are unqualified to pontificate about the subject. Frustration? Your house is bigger than my street! You have grounds to walk on without worry, plenty of food, security. Try a small flat and being skint!
What a bad time to be a frivolous person. Thankfully these two aren't.
No whenvu live in a 50 room castle mantion
Pointless putting this up BBC. People just want to snipe and not bother to read the article. 😂 The comments ! 🤦🏻♀️
Boohoo
Will has been pulling HIS hair out
No shit Sherlock 😷 🤔
I'm sure they take this stress out on their common servants, that has been the way for decades
Pointless People. Why on earth would their opinions be remotely valid or sought for at this time?
Oooh they look like they are in hell
So many cock wombles on here commenting when they haven’t even read the article properly, or at all, and forming their own opinions on what it is that William and Catherine are saying...!! Unbelievable!!!!!!!!
Whilst sitting in a palace what do they even know about this
Lot of jealous/stupid comments on here. What do you want them to do ? Move out onto the streets before they are allowed to have a comment?
I just see the black man with the bunny ears when I see that caption
This is the worst sort of click bait, the BBC are becoming the Mail. Sad picture, misleading headline. William and Kate have been involved in supporting mental health for ages. This just gives all the negative neanderthals on Twitter ammunition to spout shit! Be happy people! 😃
wake up early and have routines
? ! Ok. I’ll trade. They move into my place. I move into theirs. Deal?
They don’t have a clue what it’s like, whenever there is a crisis it’s either celebs or royals who think some wise words from them make it all good, do yourself a favour stop patronising people
No shit
Must be tough trying to cope on only £3.3 million a year
The usual dunder brains not actually reading the article I see.
That's true
Mental Health is effecting all those families who have lost income and have a massive job to survive. I have tolerance for all these privileged and celebrity types jumping on the bandwagon to promote there individual agendas.
Try doing it with no MONEY
Such a stupid title. Just inviting hate. When they’re trying to be advocates.
Now imagine being poor and not have unlimited amounts of people providing services for you
Lockdown is 1000 times better than dying due to coronavirus...
But not as stressful as dying.
It sure caused some anxiety to the people his father put at huge risk of catching it too. Sympathetic nods and smiles are much needed from Kate & Wills though. 😑
Stop worrying!! At least you dont have to sign on every 2 weeks to collect your huge benefits
Mental health professionals now? Is there no end to the royal families talents?
Well, schucks. Sorry about that.
No shit.... 🤦♂️ Like it’s affecting them 🙄
It blows my mind how easily people just read the headline and form their opinion instantly.
they dont know how stressful they are to millions of people having to pay the to 'DO NOTHING' Please S.t.F.up
Those poor commoners don't have horses to ride or hot tubs to relax in. What will they do with themselves?
Oh no .. are they in a small studio apartment ?
This is the first time I've seen Kate frowning..
Poor babies.
It must be so stressful when the groom of the stool is self isolating.
Wow, nearly ten years of marriage has taken it's toll... and still, look at the love and affection just oozing from their faces.
Well your brother ain’t feeling no stress atm swanning off and around like there’s nothing wrong
ClapForCarers every Thursday is becoming hugely distressing for some because of fireworks. ptsd is triggered by these sudden loud noises. Please make it stop. Lockdown is hard enough to cope with for many panicattacks fear KensingtonRoyal
It's just the most insane post. 'im living in a castle with 47 staff looking after me and 39 bedrooms' .... I can't imagine how you guys are doing in 2 or 4 bedrooms, must be hell .... what the hell are they saying cnni NZStuff nzherald
'Poor us. We're so tired of being waited on hand and foot. It's exhausting having to watch the nannies at work whilst we ponder what to wear for dinner each evening'
Poor chucks. No more luxury barbecues with finger buffet. No more room for a pony.
Get some MDMA and put some fooking music on.
Why. Is it because she cant go shopping anymore for dresses that cost more than the average worker earns..lockdown in a huge mansion, garden, swimming pool, gym & games room must be awful!!!
I hate to hear the two a them talk about mental health🙄.....you want me to believe tht they're ever so concerned about a stranger's mental health when they couldn't give a rats ass about the mental health of his own brother n sister-in-law GTFOH with these weak PR stunts
A lot of people on this thread haven't bothered to read the article before commenting. Same as usual
BeKind
When the privileged come out with a statement like that 🙄 Try it without knowing where you're going to find the money to pay essential bills - that's 'stressful' newstarterfurlough newstarterjustice
Laughing my ass off
Sick of the sight of them
I'm having mental issues bc of the royals talking about mental issues.
Poor them!!
Bless em.
Like their lockdown is the same as lockdown for the rest of us. republic
Must be hard for them.
Couldn't agree more with them
Ahhhhhhh pish posh!
Hardly going to affect their mental health as they have a garden and a balcony. Far more likely to affect those living in flats without either of these and especially people living on their own.
Thank you for saving lives
It'd stress me out to be locked in with either of those two and their INCREDIBLY stressing lives. Must be so tough to not be able to swan around, waving at peasants...
Yep even the homeless man in the street knows that
They have an enviable grasp of the obvious.
Stuck in their mansions, how miserable.🙄
Must be hard in a castle
wow, thanks for the insight.
