The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Instagram account posted about Middleton's latest engagement, writing, "The first five years of our lives have an extraordinary impact on the adults we become. They provide the foundations for how we respond to our biggest challenges in later life, our long-term health, wellbeing and resilience.

"Everyone involved in a child’s early life has a pivotal role to play and @OxChildPsych’s research educating teenagers in science lessons about how early experiences shape brain development is just one example of how we can be better informed about this.

"Huge thanks to the pupils of Nower Hill HS for sharing your experiences!"

Commenters were overwhelmingly supportive of the cause, many agreeing about the importance of early childhood development, and admiring the duchess' engaged manner when speaking to the school kids.
