Duchess Kate’s gracious tumble! Royal shares a sweet moment with Prince William
It seems even the future Queen isn’t immune to a little rough and stumble every now and again.
The Duke and Duchess of Camrbidge attended an event on Tuesday to celebrate six months since the launch of Shout, a service which offers free and confidential mental health support via text message.
The event also paid tribute to the staff members delivering the service all over the UK.
However there was a certain misstep by the Duchess that royal fans couldn’t help but notice.
When Prince William gestures to his wife to take the seat closest to the sidewalk, the royal accidentally tripped, as seen in footage captured by the Daily Mail.
The Duke appears to snap into action, however the moment was quickly regained by the royal who displayed her infectious smile and fixed her footing, before getting into the vehicle alongside her husband.
The Duchess wore a stylish jacket by Smythe and red wine trousers by Joseph while honouring volunteers for Shout.
The occasion also gives staffers - who work from home - an opportunity to meet their colleagues across the groundbreaking network.
“They are so lovely,” Nancy Lublin, co-founder and CEO of Crisis Text Line, told PEOPLE.
“It’s amazing how much he knows about the service.”
“And he reiterated that his plan is to train and become a crisis counselor,” she added.
“When you’re really busy, and/or really famous, it’s very hard to volunteer. It what’s nice about this — it’s totally anonymous. He could be the guy at the end of the phone.”
About 600 conversations take place on the service each day. Three-quarters of those who contact Shout are under 25, and the most frequent subjects raised in those conversations are suicide (37%), depression (36%), relationships (29%), anxiety (31%), isolation (19%) and self-harm (17%), the service says.
