Accompanied by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, the British royals, who are on a four-day tour of Sweden and Norway, were greeted with cheers and applause from well-wishers. Here, they met with academics and practitioners to discuss Sweden's approach to managing mental health challenges, including the impact of physical activity on mental health.
Their Royal Highnesses also heard about the Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) programme run by the National Association for Suicide Research and Prevention of Mental Ill Health (NASP). Kate, 36, looked fabulous in a red and white tailored Catherine Walker coat, which was teamed with a Alexander McQueen dress and earrings by Swedish designer In2Design.
Their visit to the institute comes the morning after they dined with Swedish stars from the worlds of movies, the arts, sport and television at a glittering reception celebrating the Nordic country's cultural life. See here for the first day of the royal tour…

Following their morning of engagements, Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel introduced their children - Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar - to William and Kate at their home, Haga Palace.
