Meanwhile, Princess Kate wrote in a new foreword to the report: “Modern society is complex. At times, it can feel like the world is filled with mistrust and misunderstanding, leaving many people feeling isolated and vulnerable during difficult times. The impact of this — poor mental health, addiction and abuse — can be devastating, for individuals and for society."
