Kate Middleton has landed in northern Italy for a milestone two-day visit focused on early childhood — her first solo overseas trip since her cancer diagnosis in 2024. Read on to discover the full story!

Back on the International Stage

The Princess of Wales, 44, arrived in Reggio Emilia from London on Wednesday, May 13. Aides call the visit an important step in her recovery after treatment; she announced she was in remission in early 2025. At City Hall she was welcomed by Mayor Marco Massari and later greeted members of the public who had gathered to see her.

Putting Early Years in the Spotlight

The trip highlights Kate’s long-running commitment to the first five years of life, work led through The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood and the Shaping Us campaign. Palace aides say she aims to boost international collaboration and elevate early childhood on the global stage.
