Howls of anguish from UK press (and HelloUK).
Duchess of Cambridge to guest-edit Huffington Post UK - BBC NewsHuffington Post UK editor-in-chief Stephen Hull said staff at the publication were "thrilled" at the prospect of welcoming their guest in mid-February.
"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," he said.

I think it might be to garner alot of attention in beforehand, so people can hype it up or such. And also probably the yearly trip since people seem to be shocked that they take one sun trip per year.I wonder why the palace announced this project such in advance! Does it mean that Kate won't make an official appereance until mid February? Mustique time is approaching, but I thought that she would attend an engagement or two, even though January is usually a slow month.
The whining from the Royal reporters on Twitter is childish.

@jeb61ju It's clear William, Kate, and Harry support Charles's idea of a more activist monarchy. I just think she needs to speak out more.

Well, they did it with the Bafta stuff and other high profile stuff so I'm not that sure but peoplee see what they wanna see.Something tells me that maybe that's the main reason
Very true!Also since articles are being commissioned on topic, less Likely chance of containing the story. so KP announced to control the message. More people are involved. I seem to recall when prince Charles edited a magazine last year it was announced early as well.

Richard Palmer is the absolute worst. He's running around retweeting disgusting articles & he wonders why the Royals don't want to talk to him.
He called me angry person & a troll that overstepped the mark or something cause I called him out on it.
How do people like that have a job? He's constantly on twitter whining about everything and threatening to "do mean articles" or whatever.
Lord.

His behavior really has been appalling- tweeting ugly things while complaining that he can't get near the family.
Hahaha, such childish behaviour and whining. Like this is for a charity !! How is this different from the annual event where members of the BRF "broker deals" to raise money for charity?
She is a guest editor and will be focusing on mental health issues, not breaking new! and its only for one day. They can stay mad for all I care. This shows that they are selfish and want things to always benefit them! It really does not reflect well on the, which is ironic as they are trying to paint this good initiative in a bad light.
They act like they have not been focusing on her clothes and hair and less on her charities for her entire royal life. Now she has found a way that will allow, for just one day, for the focus to be on the main issue at hand which is mental health.
Yall know how much I love her focus on mental health issues, especially with regards to children. I did a little dance when I saw that tweet from KP.
A whole day where Huffpost(with about 250 million daily views) will focus on mental health issues, allowing the people affected to direct the tone of the concersation and hopefully help fight the stigma is a brilliant initiative.
I for one absolutely love it and cant wait!!
I've seen him hinting stuff about his editors as well... I think he might be in a tricky job position and taking it out on the royals..It is childish, I don't understand how he justifies his last few posts or why the man is behaving this way. I may not be kates biggest fan but some of his recent posts are childish and petty. He is a grown man and should behave as such with some professionalism.

Oooooh, that's right! I remember that now! That one must really sting!And some history. Huffington Post calls Palmer and the Express out which he doesn't like. He can dish it but can't take it. So Kate guest-editing HP really gets under his skin
Daily Express Royal Correspondent Richard Palmer Has Public Meltdown Over Kensington Palace Letter
I saw that as well. Reported by the Mail. Is that a reliable one?To be entirely fair, criticism of the Huffington Post editing by Catherine was led by 2 photographers who are still peeved that she issued pictures of Charlotte instead of photoshoot. Then came Rebecca from the Daily Fail who said she was "speechless" (if only!) Followed by Richard, Victoria from the Mirror, Emily (now at Hello, I think) and someone else (female) who's name I cant remember.
All of the royal reporters went bonkers!! Totally wrong in my opinion as I think this is a cracking idea. And before any of you ask, I've also said this to the reporters on Twitter.
Now back on track - Catherine is apparently making a video to be released on February 8th which is the start of Mental Health Week.
Love what she is doing with the cause.
EDIT: sorry Jacknch, posted this about the same time. Last bit is about a new Catherine "event"

I was hoping the video would form the central piece of the editorial work so it all comes together. That would be a huge draw.
I do like the fact that they are trying different media to get the message across.
