LONDON (Central News Agency) — Catherine, Princess of Wales, will visit Italy next week, marking her first overseas trip since undergoing cancer treatment. The visit will primarily focus on early childhood development, an issue she has long championed.
According to Reuters, Princess Catherine, wife of Prince William, will undertake a two-day visit to Reggio Emilia in northern Italy. The trip will highlight her long-standing advocacy for early childhood development, which is central to her public work.
The focus of Catherine's visit will be the "Reggio Emilia Approach" to education. This educational philosophy centers on interpersonal relationships, environment, and community as core elements of early childhood development, profoundly influencing numerous schools worldwide.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson stated, "The Princess is very much looking forward to her visit to Italy next week, to see firsthand how the Reggio Emilia Approach fosters an environment that integrates nature and warm interpersonal relationships to support early childhood development."
Catherine revealed in 2024 that she was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, though the specific type of cancer was not disclosed. She significantly reduced her public engagements after her diagnosis and stated last year that her condition had improved. Princess Catherine has not recently accompanied Prince William to any overseas events.
Advocating for the healthy social and emotional development of young children has become Catherine's primary philanthropic endeavor. She and William have three children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.
In 2021, Catherine founded "The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood," bringing together experts and research resources to address this issue. The Foundation will release its latest handbook today.
In the foreword, Catherine wrote, "In this increasingly fragmented and digitized world full of turmoil... investing in what truly helps us thrive—human connection—has become more important than ever." (Compiled by Qu Xiangping) 1150506
