(Central News Agency, London, 13th, comprehensive foreign reports) Britain's Princess Catherine today began a two-day visit to Italy, where she will visit Reggio Emilia, a northern Italian city renowned for its early childhood education. This is her first official visit since announcing her cancer diagnosis two years ago, focusing on early childhood development issues.
According to Agence France-Presse, Kate (Princess Catherine) announced in March 2024 that she had been diagnosed with cancer and had begun chemotherapy, though she did not disclose the type of cancer. In January last year, she announced that her cancer was in remission and has been gradually resuming public royal duties.
Kate's last official visit dates back to December 2022, when she and her husband, Prince William, the British heir apparent, traveled to Boston, USA, to present the environmental award 'The Earthshot Prize.'
Preschool education is an issue of particular concern to Kate. She has three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who are currently 12, 11, and 8 years old, respectively.
Kensington Palace stated through a statement that Kate's visit focuses on her work in early childhood development, which will be a 'high-level field study mission to explore leading international approaches to supporting young children and their caregivers.'
The statement also said that Kate looks forward to 'observing firsthand how the Reggio Emilia Approach creates an environment where nature and loving human relationships intertwine.' (Compiler: Chang Cheng-Chien) 1150513
