Over the years,mental wellbeing has emerged as a subject close to the hearts of the Prince andPrincess of Wales, with Prince William using World Mental Health Day on Tuesday, 10 October to speak about his mental health \u201ctoolbox\u201d. <\/p>\n

During an engagement at the Exploring our Emotional Worlds event, William opened up about how he maintains his mental wellbeing and explained how \u201cthings, like walking, fresh air [and] getting away from screens\u201d help him on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cHaving a laugh. Humour for me is a big deal – I love to laugh. You\u2019ve got to look at the lighter things in life sometimes to feel good,\u201d and said that \u201ctime with my friends, time with my family – things like that really matter to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For royal fans, 41 year old William\u2019s words may sound familiar as some of the coping mechanisms mentioned have been associated with the Princess of Wales in the past.<\/p>\n

With Kate\u2019s interest in early years development, back in 2020 royal expert Katie Nicholl OK!<\/b> spoke about how Kate, 41, is \u201cvery strict\u201d when it comes to managing how much time her children spend in front of screens. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe emphasis during this time will be on arts and crafts, painting and doing things that aren\u2019t screen-orientated. Kate is usually very strict on screen time and keeps it to a minimum. The children aren\u2019t allowed their own devices,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,the mum-of-three is also said to be a fan of \u2018forest bathing\u2019, which refers to spending time outside in wooded areas, with the wellbeing practice inspiring her Back To Nature garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2019.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, whether they\u2019re completing royal engagements or posing for family photos at home, William and Kate are often seen laughing and joking together – another thing the Prince of Wales has credited as being part ofhis mental health \u201ctoolbox\u201d. <\/p>\n

During one such engagement in Norfolk in 2016,Prince William had something very funny to say about his wife's cooking skills, though Kate later got her own back during a cooking competition hosted by Dame Mary Berry. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When the pair arrived at the event, Kate joked that Prince William was looking forward to having a break from her cooking. She said: \u201cWilliam has to put up with my cooking most of the time." To which William laughed: "It's the reason I'm so skinny!\u201d<\/p>\n

Just last year,Kate gave a rousing speech about the importance of parents looking out for their own mental health when she encouraged them to find \u201ccreative ways\u201d to express their thoughts and feelings. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhether that's through photography, through art, through drama, through music or poetry, it's finding those things that make you feel good about yourself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
