CONI is for parents who have suffered a sudden and unexpected death of a baby and often feel anxious when they have another baby.
The Lullaby Trust runs the programme, which is a national health-visitor led service for bereaved parents which supports families before and after the birth of their new baby.
Nick said: “I'm really looking to meeting the Duchess on behalf of my colleagues who work hard to support parents to be.”
