Kate Middleton’s recent trip to Italy is a vital step for her after recovery from cancer. The Prince of Wales who is set to touchdown this week, is loaded for her ongoing contribution towards child care.

Christian Guy, Executive Director of The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood,said: “We are now entering an important new phase of the Centre’s journey.

“Building on her UK and international work in this area for many years, The Princess is here with her Centre for Early Childhood to lead a new global conversation about this, believing we now need to focus on early brain development and nurturing the whole child with the same urgency and sense of mission as other global challenges like climate change - if we truly want to get ahead of these challenges in the future. This is about genuine prevention.

“We will aim to build a global alliance and shape a blueprint for lifelong human wellbeing and connection around the world, by uniting people around the golden opportunity of early childhood,” he noted.
