Prince William's wife Kate to guest-edit Huffington Post
London — Prince William's wife Kate is to guest-edit the UK section of The Huffington Post to highlight child mental health issues, Kensington Palace announced Friday.
The Duchess of Cambridge will sit in the news website's hot seat for a day in mid-February, their official residence said.
Kate will use the opportunity to highlight the work being done by parents, teachers, researchers, and mental health professionals, the palace said.
"The Duchess of Cambridge has made the mental health of young children a key focus of her work in recent years," a spokesman said.
"She is delighted that The Huffington Post will help put a spotlight on this important issue.
"The Duchess will be commissioning contributions from a number of leading figures in the mental health sector as well as from young people, parents, and teachers."
The 34-year-old has campaigned against the stigma surrounding childhood mental illness, and is a patron of several related charities.
Last year, Kate visited charities helping vulnerable children, and publicly spoke about the cause on several occasions.
Stephen Hull, editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post UK, said they were "thrilled" that the duchess was joining the team.
"Dealing with mental health issues has been a major editorial focus for us and I'm very excited to be working together on such an important project." — Agence France-Presse

Amanda Bynes leaves inpatient treatment —lawyer
LOS ANGELES — A lawyer for Amanda Bynes says the actress has left an inpatient mental health treatment facility and is back with her parents.
Attorney Tamar Arminak on Thursday confirmed the 27-year-old actress's release.
Bynes has been in treatment since July, when she was placed on a psychiatric hold after starting a fire in a driveway in her hometown of Thousand Oaks, California. Her mother, Lynn Bynes, was granted a temporary conservatorship over the actress, but the case was dismissed because Amanda Bynes' care was being overseen by a mental health court.
Arminak wrote in a statement to People magazine that Amanda Bynes' treatment will continue.
Bynes' release was first reported by celebrity website RadarOnline.com.
The actress starred in the Nickelodeon show "All That" and her own variety series. —Associated Press
