Overview
- Kensington Palace said Wednesday that the princess will spend May 13–14 in Reggio Emilia on a two-day official visit, her first overseas engagement since cancer treatment.
- The trip is a fact-finding mission for her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood to study the Reggio Emilia approach, which centers on relationships, learning spaces and nature as a 'third teacher'.
- During the visit she will meet educators, parents, children, civic leaders and business figures to see the model in practice.
- The announcement coincides with the Centre’s release of a 109-page Foundations for Life guide for practitioners and volunteers, launched at the University of East London.
- Her last official trip abroad was Boston in December 2022, and reports say her return raises hopes she could join future travel such as a possible US visit, though nothing is confirmed.
