The wife of heir-to-the-throne Prince William will carry out a two-day visit to Reggio Emilia in northern Italy, as part of her work focusing on early childhood development, the central theme of her public work.<\/p>\n
The visit will center on the \u201cReggio Emilia approach,\u201d which places relationships, the environment and community at the heart of a child\u2019s development and has influenced schools around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe princess is very much looking forward to visiting Italy next week and seeing first-hand how the Reggio Emilia approach creates environments where nature and loving human relationships come together to support children\u2019s development,\u201d a Kensington Palace spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Kate revealed in 2024 that she was undergoing chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer, and said last year she was in remission.<\/p>\n
Since her illness, she has significantly reduced her official workload, saying she was taking each day as it comes.<\/p>\n
While her public appearances have gradually increased, she has not joined William on any recent foreign trips.<\/p>\n
Improving children\u2019s social and emotional wellbeing in their early years has become Kate\u2019s main campaigning issue. She and William have three children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, eight.<\/p>\n
She launched The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in 2021 to bring together experts and research on the issue. On Wednesday, the centre will publish a new resource, the Foundations for Life guide.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a world which feels increasingly distracted, fragmented and digital \u2026 it is more important than ever to invest in what truly helps us to thrive: human connection,\u201d she wrote in its foreword.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
