 Today's visits focused on organisations that are working to create a bright future for the next generation.

Their first engagement of the day took place at Hillsborough Castle with members of the police forces who have been affected by mental health issues.


 More from the Mirror: "William and Kate requested to meet the police officers and the staff at the PSNI to discuss the work being done to provide mental mental support for those in the service. William has spoken candidly about how he was supported during his time as an air ambulance pilot and he was very interested in the concept of sharing of ideas and experiences between all of the emergency services and armed forces so that the best results can be achieved. The Duke and Duchess had some great ideas about how that can work across the country and it's something they are both passionate about."

A message from Chief Constable George Hamilton:
From there, the Duke and Duchess traveled to Ballymena for their next engagement.

 Kate was particularly taken aback by one little boy named James. She told his Dad Alan: "He's gorgeous. It makes me  broody". Alan laughed and asked "Baby number four?". Kate replied "I think William would be a little worried".

 Their next port was to the Braids Art Centre.

At the Braid Arts Centre Their Royal Highnesses visited the charity Cinemagic, who have used film, television and digital technologies to engage with over 500,000 young people. The charity uses visual arts to increase opportunities and develop skills for young people from all backgrounds. 

There, they took part in  a storyboard masterclass demonstration with children from Malvern Primary School


A nice video from their engagement:

For their final engagement, the couple visited Sure Start.
The program supports parents with children aged under four years old living in disadvantaged areas in Northern Ireland. 
Their Royal Highnesses saw some of the different programmes that Sure Start provides to understand how the organisation supports parents and provides best practice for early years work.


That officially concludes our coverage for Royal Tour Northern Ireland! It's hard to believe that We've only had this blog for one week and have already covered two Royal visits! We'll see the Duke and Duchess again together on the fifth along with the Sussexs.
