The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge waved at onlookers as they visited the northern town
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent yesterday in Blackpool visiting a series of innovative projects focused on investment and regeneration, as well as learning how the resort is tackling some of the social and mental health problems faced by people in Britain today.
The Telegraph reports that the Duke, 36, who will one day be head of the Armed Forces, told members of the emergency services that he has 'never really understood' why the Army had not always matched its physical training with mental health provision.
Kate, 37, looked elegant as she kicked off the visit to the iconic seaside town alongside William with a visit to the iconic Blackpool Tower.
The royal couple took part in a briefing about the town's recent history, the challenges, and the investment and regeneration efforts that are currently underway.
Kate cut an elegant figure in the rain, opting for an olive £940 Sportsmax coat, a £225 Michael Kors patterned peacock dress, and accessorised with a recycled £435 green Manu Atelier bag and black knee-high boots. Read More from The Daily Mail.
