Duchess of Cambridge Joins William And Harry To Mark World Mental Health Day In London

He wouldn't be the first tourist to look out for a famous landmark on The London Eye, so it's no surprise that Prince Harry couldn't resist trying to spot Buckingham Palace from a pod on the iconic landmark this afternoon.

Harry, together with William and sister-in-law Kate took a ride on the London Eye with young people who have battled psychological problems and been brave enough to share their experiences at a reception at County Hall for World Mental Health Day.

The Duchess of Cambridge also gave a rare address, taking to the microphone to pledge that they will do 'what they can to shine a spotlight on emotional wellbeing'.

She also hinted at her husband and Harry's grief at losing their mother as she said, 'all of us know someone who has been through emotional times.'

Later Harry chatted to Theresa Cox, 48, a carer for husband Andy Cox, 52, who has the debilitating condition Multiple System Atrophy – a rare neurological condition that has seen him go from being an active person to finding it difficult to climb the stairs.

Mrs Cox from Hughenden Valley, Bucks, who is a support worker in a secondary school, said: 'Harry was very down to earth, he told us to look out for his grandmother’s building and wave. He couldn’t remember if she was home or not so we were looking to see if we could spot her royal standard.'

She added: 'I think the stigma of mental health needs to go. It’s a really dark place and one that isn’t always seen, and I think some people don’t even understand they’re dealing with their own emotional health – almost until it’s too late.'

They royals spent around 30 minutes in a pod enjoying spectacular views of the capital which increased as they travelled upwards, giving them a bird’s eye view of London landmarks like Buckingham Palace – which flies the royal standard if the Queen is in residence - St Paul’s Cathedral and the City’s skyscrapers.
