They may have taken the summer off but it's business as usual for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are busy filling their diaries with even more royal engagements.

Next Friday will see the royal couple travel to the Stewards Academy in Harlow, Essex, where they will learn about the pressures faced by young people when they are going through big changes in their lives, and learn about the support from peers and parents that can help them get through these changes.

Kate and William, both 34 and working on the Heads Together campaign, will join a lesson on ‘big change’ run by a small number of students involved with the school’s mentor scheme in which older students support the new joiners in their first year of school.

They will then join the school’s assembly where they will hear speeches and performances from students on the topic of coping with big changes. The Duke of Cambridge will also make a short speech.

The parents of two will then be escorted by the Academy’s Head Girl and Head Boy as they cross the school quad, which will be filled with pupils.

They will also meet with a small number of parents of students from the school to discuss how parents and carers can encourage their children to talk about big changes in their lives.

Heads Together will be producing a Back to School guide to help parents have these conversations.

Stewards Academy is one of the schools supported by Place2Be, one of the team of charities brought together for the Heads Together campaign being spearheaded by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry to change the conversation on mental health from shame to support. Place2Be has been an integral part of the support network available to pupils at the Academy for several years.

Research shows that a fifth of children will experience a mental health problem by the time they are eleven and that half of the mental health problems suffered by adults are established by the age of 14.

It's not often that the Duchess of Cambridge surprises us with her sartorial choices.

The royal beauty is a fan of pretty dresses and a core set of labels like L.K. Bennett, Erdem, Jenny Packham, Temperley London, Hobbs and Beulah. But today she made us look twice as she visited the Eden Project in the British county of Cornwall.

Ditching the dresses in favor of skinny trousers, Kate was an altogether more casual version of herself as she toured the visitor attraction. And not only that but these pants are from Gap, a high street store that's new to her extensive collection.

We love the bold blue Ikat print and the slim fit and the good news for any fans of the Duchess' style is they're still available to buy. In fact they're in the sale so they're a right royal bargain. Click (right) to snap them up now before they're gone for good.

Then style with a navy tailored blazer like Kate's. Hers is by SMYTHE and you can find it in our edit below.

Currently less than half of parents talk to their children about mental health.

Heads Together is going back to school to show real examples of the value of support from fellow students, teachers and parents in helping young people through these changes.

Last week, the Duke and Duchess visited The Eden Project in Cornwall, after their flight to visit the Isles of Scilly was cancelled due to bad weather.

The Duchess flaunted her love of a bargain wearing a pair of £21.99 trousers from Gap for the visit.

She teamed her high street buy with a £462 navy Smythe blazer, which she previously wore to the Royal International Air Tattoo in Gloucestershire in July this year.
