Overview
- Kensington Palace confirmed a two‑day working visit to Reggio Emilia, Italy next week focused on early childhood practice.
- It will be her first official overseas engagement since she announced she was in remission in January 2025 and her first official foreign visit since Boston in December 2022.
- Palace aides say she is feeling well and energised and has prepared for months while keeping plans balanced around health and family.
- Royal commentators say the trip signals a “new normal” of shorter, mission‑led travel tailored to her priorities after cancer.
- The visit aligns with the Centre for Early Childhood’s push to take its new Foundations for Life guide abroad and to study the Reggio Emilia model, which treats the learning environment as a third teacher.
