William and Catherine took part in video call with family whose son reached out to charity Shout

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spoke to a suicidal 12-year-old boy who was helped by their text counselling service Shout in a moving video call, which was released today via Instagram.

The couple heard how the youngster, who is given the name Jack to protect his identity, was standing on a high bridge unbeknownst to his loving and supportive parents when he contacted Shout - a crisis line Cambridges launched as part of their Heads Together campaign with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in May 2019.

It's a pity the article feels the need to insert some paragraphs about the other two, but scroll down to continue to read about the video call.

If you can save even one life, it is worth everything.

The story, even if it's heartbreaking, ended well, thanks to Shout and the Cambridge's support and endorsements. As I said, the Royals are carrying out duties and engagements as they always do. In contrast to the drama from another party.
