The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, met kids at the Child Bereavement UK Centre, a charity that helps families deal with the loss of a loved one.

Along with Prince Harry, William and Kate have focused their activities on mental health awareness.

William admitted he was very angry after Diana died, almost 20 years ago.

“He told us how he felt angry when she died. He very specifically used that word anger, he felt angry about it," a mum who was at the event said.
