In Newtown, Powys, she met with members of Mums Matter, a perinatal service for women experiencing mental health problems linked to early motherhood. Ella Hopkins, 25, who started volunteering with the service after fleeing domestic violence with her 10-month-old son Marcus, described her as "absolutely incredible". "She got really invested, she was asking lots of questions, you could tell she thought it was an important thing to be focusing on," she said. "She definitely said that it's something that she said felt passionate about, parents being able to be committed and devoted through their own stability," Hopkins said. Catherine and the Prince of Wales were visiting Wales ahead of St David's Day on Sunday.
