Filmed in Kensington Palace earlier this month, the royal looked so elegant in a spotted blouse with black trousers. Addressing the camera, she shared: "Attitudes to addiction are changing. But we are not there yet, and we need to be. Still the shame of addiction is stopping people and families asking for help and people are still tragically losing their lives.

"We as a society need to recognise that the only way to help those suffering is to try and understand what has led them to addiction, to empathise with them and to be compassionate to their struggles."

She continued: "Addiction is a serious mental health condition that can happen to anyone, no matter what age, gender, race or nationality."
The mum-of-three also made an emotional plea to those who may have addiction issues, saying: "I want you to that this is also a serious health condition.
"Please do not let shame hold you back from getting the help you so desperately need."
