| By Pria Rai, Newsbeat presenter | |
| The Radio 1 Live Lounge is usually the backdrop for A-list popstars, but this time the stage was set for something different. | |
| The prince and princess made for brilliant Newsbeat reporters - they came in relaxed and keen to chat to our panellists, doing the key part of every reporters' job by putting them at ease before we took to our mics. | |
| They engaged with issues including the pressures of social media, to raising young people to speak openly about their feelings. | |
| We talk to our audience every day, but listening to them is just as much of a priority and I got the impression this was echoed by the prince and princess as they spoke about keeping the discussion around mental health going - something you could tell was important to them both. | |
| I told them I'm keeping the presenter's chair warm for their next visit! | |
| The princess also told listeners that she would "love to know" how they look after their own mental health, which was followed by a guest then explaining to the royal couple his approach. | |
| "There's no right or wrong, that's the thing as well. Different things will work for different people," she said. | |
