The Princess of Wales completed her first royal tour in Italy today after nearly four years and royal fans had a thing to say. Princess Catherine spent two days in Reggio Emilia to learn more about an innovative approach to teaching young children developed in the country.
Known as the Reggio Emilia Approach, after the city that pioneered the teaching method, it is recognised across the globe and stresses the importance of parents, educators and the environment, “the third teacher”, that surround a child. For more than a decade, childhood development has been central to the future queen’s public work.
Catherine visited schools and spoke to teachers, parents, and children throughout her trip.
And royal fans were jubilant with the royal’s efforts and took to social media to praise her.
One user wrote on X: “Italy is Team Catherine!”
A second one commented: “Children just adore the Princess and it’s wonderful to see.”
A third one said: “Fantastic strategy to get this outstanding programme front and centre of education in the world. Well done Princess and your foundation.”
A fourth one added: “A great cause to bring attention to.”
A fifth one then chimed: “Sweetness and light wherever she goes. “
A sixth one said: “Children just adore the Princess and it’s wonderful to see .”
After completing her two-day working trip, Catherine thanked the people of Reggio Emilia for “a deeply moving and unforgettable time”.
In a message written by the priness and posted on her social media accounts, she said: “Over the past two days in Reggio Emilia, I have seen first hand the power of nature and creativity that put human connection at the centre of a child’s world.
“I have had such a deeply moving and unforgettable time here. Thank you to the people of Reggio Emilia for welcoming me into a culture of care with such warmth and generosity.
“Our collective work in early childhood must be to protect and nurture the connections that form the foundations of life-long wellbeing.”
She ended with words in Italian “Grazie di cuore” – Thank you with all my heart.
