After cancer treatment, Catherine is preparing for a two day solo visit to Reggio Emilia, exploring innovative early childhood practices that shaped global education.<\/p>\n
Catherine, Princess of Wales, plans to undertake her first official overseas trip after completing cancer treatment. According to Kensington Palace, this British royal is expected to visit Italy next week for a two-day solo working visit with the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.<\/p>\n
Kate founded the foundation in 2021 to raise awareness of how experiences in early childhood shape later life outcomes. Between next Wednesday and Thursday, the princess will spend time in the northern Italian city of Reggio Emilia to explore internationally leading approaches to supporting young children and their caregivers, the palace says in a statement provided to CNN on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The city is world-renowned for its educational philosophy known as the Reggio Emilia Approach, which views children as active, central participants in their own learning, and holds that educational institutions should adapt to different ways of thinking and communicating among children.<\/p>\n

Kate will meet with educators, parents, children, and leaders from the public and business sectors to see the Reggio Emilia Approach in action, according to the Kensington Palace statement.<\/p>\n
The princess looks forward to her trip to Italy next week and to seeing firsthand how the Reggio Emilia approach creates conditions in which nature and caring human relationships support children\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

The visit will be Kate\u2019s first overseas trip since 2022, when she appeared alongside William, Prince of Wales, in Boston, Massachusetts, at the Earthshot Prize Awards.<\/p>\n
Kate spent much of 2024 dealing with health issues, but in January of last year she said she was in remission from cancer, several months after completing chemotherapy.<\/p>\n
Speaking to patients at Colchester Hospital in southeast England in July, Kate described the post-cancer treatment phase as \u201cvery challenging,\u201d adding that \u201cyou can\u2019t function normally at home the way you used to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite this, the princess is gradually returning to her royal duties, undertaking trips around the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
The anticipated visit underscores Kate\u2019s commitment to continuing the early childhood theme and her active involvement in charitable initiatives aimed at the development of children and their families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After cancer treatment, Catherine is preparing for a two day solo visit to Reggio Emilia, exploring innovative early…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[9814,5,9815,36,9805,9813,3636,9816],"class_list":{"0":"post-13265","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-italy","8":"tag-early-childhood","9":"tag-italy","10":"tag-italy-visit","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-princess-of-wales","13":"tag-princess-of-wales-reggio-emilia-early-childhood-royal-foundation-italy-visit","14":"tag-reggio-emilia","15":"tag-royal-foundation"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
