The Prince of Wales shares three children with his wife Princess Kate
During a visit to Woodgate Valley Urban Farm in Birmingham on Thursday, the royal father-of-three, 41, revealed that his family have pet guinea pigs at home.He made the sweet revelation whilst he was grooming a guinea pig with a child who uses the facility. "These guys are pretty cool," he said."I spend my life cleaning out the guinea pig cage because the children forget to do it." He added: "The ones we've got at home, they're off.
Funded by the National Lottery, the farm supports small groups currently out of education as well as sibling groups from a local children's hospice.to St Michael's Church of England High School in Rowley Regis after he was initially invited by 12-year-old schoolboy, Freddie Hadley, who posted a letter on X last October.
The future king joined Freddie and fellow male pupils aged 11 to 14, who are members of the school's Matrix Project, which was set up to shine a spotlight on male mental health.The group launched the #AmIManlyEnough campaign last year to tackle the stigma around male mental health and encourage men and boys to communicate more about their feelings.
William opened up about his inspiration around his work on mental health, telling the students: "It started really when I was doing lots of charitable work, I never set out to look out into mental health, particularly male mental health."I was interested in homelessness, depression, addiction, all these separate areas and I hadn't really put them altogether as a jigsaw - what are we looking at? What are we trying to fix? It all came together as a mental health piece.
