@KensingtonRoyal/Twitter The Earl and Countess of Strathearn breezed across the beach at West Sands in St. Andrews when they joined in on a land yachting excursion with young carers in Fife. William and Kate were joined by members of Fife Young Carers, an organisation that supports young people who are put into the position of caring for an ill family member by providing them with age-appropriate support to look after their own mental and physical wellbeing. According to Kensington Palace, there may be as many as 6,785 young people in Fife who consider themselves young carers—roughly one in eight young people who have had to look after a family member living with an illness, addiction, mental health issues or physical disability.
