The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are visiting projects across north Wales today.

Much of their visit will be focused on highlighting charity work in the region that aims to improve people's mental wellbeing.

William and Kate have carried out a number of engagements which have focused on the causes and consequences of mental health problems.

Recently, the Duchess of Cambridge spoke at a conference of headteachers explaining the role of schools in addressing mental health.

The royal couple will view a photography project run by the local branch of mental health charity Mind, during their time in Caernarfon today.

The couple are no strangers to North Wales as they previously lived in Anglesey.

They will finish their tour at the Mind Men's Shed project at the Vale of Clywd.

The nationwide project aims to provide a social environment where men can take part in practical activities and talk about how they're feeling.
