Prince William shown how to make 'tree hugger' during Scotland trip The Prince of Wales was shown how to make a "tree hugger" during a visit to Scotland as part of his efforts to break down any "taboos and stigmas around mental health".
During Prince William's visit to Angus on Thursday, he also took part in a roundtable event hosted by the Farm Safety Foundation, a charity working to address attitudes to farm safety and mental health.
The Duchy of Cornwall and Prince William launched a new mental health strategy for Duchy tenants in 2023 designed to prioritise farmers' mental health and de-stigmatise the issue within the sector.
"And I am conscious that it's an area that needs maybe a little bit of support and understanding that there is access and support out there for young farmers, as well as making sure we are breaking down any taboos and stigmas around mental health.
"So, I particularly wanted to hear a little bit today about how all of you felt and hear it from the horse's mouth whether we're getting better at talking about it, whether you feel the support is out there, what your recollections and feelings are about rural isolation and mental health.".
