Overview
- Prince William gave a rare, emotional update on Heart Radio that praised the Princess of Wales as “an amazing mum and an amazing wife” and said Friday that the family “couldn't cope without her.”
- The Princess of Wales made a two‑day fact‑finding visit to Reggio Emilia earlier this month to study the city’s child‑centred Reggio Emilia approach and drew large public interest in Piazza Prampolini.
- Kensington Palace said the Italy trip may be the first chapter of a broader global effort for the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood and reported that the princess asked her team “where’s next.”
- William said the princess is “edging herself back” into overseas visits but stressed that such trips are tiring and must be paced so she is “OK and rested.”
- Royal commentators say William and Kate are taking on increased operational and symbolic duties for the monarchy and that Kate’s international work on early years could serve as focused soft‑power diplomacy.
