Kate Middleton is continuing her efforts to raise awareness about early childhood development and the realities of motherhood, even while social distancing. The Duchess of Cambridge recently shared a video, via the royal family's YouTube account, which shows her discussions with parents, midwives, and experts about the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic on families. These conversations are especially timely as the United Kingdom prepares to celebrate Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week starting May 4.

The Kensington Palace Twitter account posted an extended video of the adorable interaction with the brand-new mom and dad. "He's so sweet!" Kate says in the clip, admiring the newborn. After the mom reveals she gave birth the night before, Kate responds, "Oh my goodness, you must be exhausted!" As a mother of three, Kate can sympathize with the demands of childbirth (she used hypnobirthing during her delivery!) and the sleepless nights with infants. Watch the video above to see part of their sweet chat, as well as Kate's full conversation with healthcare professionals from around the UK.
