Overview
- Catherine arrived in Reggio Emilia on Wednesday for a two-day visit that aides called an important step in her recovery.
- Her schedule focused on the city’s child-led, relationship-based Reggio Emilia approach, with stops at preschools, community workshops, and a meeting at city hall.
- Local leaders praised her early years advocacy with an award from the mayor, and large crowds gathered in the medieval square to welcome her.
- She capped the trip on Thursday by learning to make regional tortelli during a rural lunch after morning visits to a nature-based nursery and a recycling education center.
- Kensington Palace cast the journey as the first in a series of paced international engagements through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
