Background:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry held a reception at one of the royal palaces to recognise and honour people working in the field on children's mental health. Professing themselves to be big fans of Susie Green and Mermaids, the newspapers reported the Dukes' compliments and endorsement of Mermaids.
Royal patronage, like government backing, is a powerful tool when seeking funding or positions of influence. It opens doors. It reassures those who might have qualms.
Prince Harry has doubled down on his support for Mermaids and Susie Green is cock-a-hoop
