►The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have met a shaggy four-legged friend called Prince Harry on a visit to Cumbria.

William and Kate patted the energetic seven-month-old English springer spaniel with his owner, Kerry Irving, who uses his dogs to help others get outdoors to fight depression and poor mental health.

Mr Irving met the royal couple last month at a Buckingham Palace garden party with his therapy dog Max, and on Tuesday he welcomed the royal visitors to his home town of Keswick with Max, aged 11, and his other two springer spaniels, Paddy, aged two, and seven-month-old Prince Harry.

Mr Irving, 54, suffered a devastating car crash in 2006, but overcame severe depression by walking his neighbour's dog Max before he adopted him.
