Kensington Palace announces the next Royal engagement for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been enjoying a break with their children as the schools go on a half-term break.
But the royal couple will on Tuesday 25 February, attend a special performance of Dear Evan Hansen at the Noël Coward Theatre in London, in aid of The Royal Foundation and as well meet members of the cast after the performance.
Over the years, the Cambridge’s have taken seriously the issue of mental health and expresses in their different charity foundations with William currently leading Heads Up, a season-long campaign which uses the influence and popularity of football to show the nation that mental health is just as important as physical health and Kate launching her early childhood survey ‘5 Big Questions’ last month, which aims to spark a UK-wide conversation on raising the next generation.
Last year the royal couple were at the launch of Shout 85258, a free and confidential 24/7 UK text messaging helpline that supports people in crisis and were treated to a performance by one of Dear Evan Hansen’s cast members, Marcus Harman, at Shout’s Crisis volunteer celebration event last November. The musical tells the story of Evan, a boy who is struggling to connect in our hyperconnected world. The award-winning show spans generations and has been credited with helping to start important conversations about mental health between parents and teenagers.
Prince William will also be expected to attend the Wales vs France Six Nations Match at the Principality Stadium on Saturday 22 February and on Wednesday 26 February, the Duchess will visit the London Stadium at the Olympic Park in Stratford to join a SportsAid event dedicated to celebrating the role that parents and guardians play in their child’s sporting success.
