Duchess of Cambridge records video message in support for Place2Be

In this handout image provided by Place2Be, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Royal Patron of Place2Be, is seen in a video message supporting Children's Mental Health Week. The Duchess of Cambridge has spoken of the importance of preventing children's problems becoming worse as they get older in a video message she has recorded to support the UK's first Children's Mental Health Week. In the message, Kate says that both she and her husband, the Duke of Cambridge, have seen that many children are struggling to cope with bullying, bereavement, family breakdown and other issues, which can often lead to depression, anxiety, addiction and self-harm. She adds that stigma around mental health means that many children do not get the help they so badly need and this needs to change. The Duchess makes the comments in an online video for Place2Be, which provides emotional help and support in schools. ( VIDEO )

Royal Trip Report: The Cambridges in Asia, Part 4

Here we go again! This is our final installment of Cambridge trip fun. Take a look back if you like:

Part 1 (Singapore)

Part 2 (Singapore to Malaysia)

Part 3 (Malaysia to the Solomon Islands)

The trip’s over now, and they seem to have saved the best stuff for last. Dancing royals, coming atcha…

Day 7: Events in Honiara in the Solomon Islands

Sunshine yellow! And here we have a textbook example of why royals are great in bright colors: you can pick them out of a grass skirt line up, no problem.

Her Jaeger dress, and the necklace she was given

Even looks good with a floral headdress and a Princess Kate necklace. Perfect.

Day 7: Still in the Solomon Islands, en route to a private island for some down time

And then the couple switched roles, and she let William’s shirt be the guiding light.

Her Mulberry dress, with a look at the fabric and the necklace she was given

I even like the wedges with this one, so there.

Day 8: Leaving the Solomon Islands and arriving in Tuvalu for an evening of fun. Warning: this video contains royal dance moves, which you will find either adorable or embarrassing – definitely one of the two. You’ve been warned.

She’s amassing quite the collection of the little yellow dresses, isn’t she? There’s the one above, this one (by an “independent dressmaker”), plus the Jenny Packham spotted on the last tour. Of the three…this is definitely my least favorite. Nevertheless, it’s not a bad backdrop for her Island Queen for the Day accessories!

The evening dress and personalized fan, plus daytime accessories

Would never in a million years have picked this Alice by Temperley gown for the evening off a rack for her, but it works. It works perfectly, in fact. That Cathleen, she’s so clever.

Day 9: Leaving Tuvalu for home, with a stop at the Brisbane Airport

I say we officially dub this the trip of the shirt sort of dress, or the trip of the full-ish skirted dress. We can work on the name.

Her Project D dress for the farewell, and the more comfortable outfit seen in Brisbane

And that's that, the biggest dose of Cambridge you'll get all year. Big decision time now:

What was your favorite outfit from the Duchess this trip?
