Prince William thanks delighted schoolboy for mental health campaign letter on surprise visit

The Prince of Wales delighted a young boy on Thursday morning (25 April) by dropping into his school after receiving a letter last year inviting him to see their mental health initiatives.

Freddie Hadley, 12, shared his letter on X, formerly Twitter, on World Mental Health Day last October.
