The Princess of Wales visited Reggio Emilia on a fact-finding mission — her first solo overseas trip in nearly four years and her first since her cancer diagnosis. She toured preschools, watched children explore nature and pond life, and joined them making clay models.
Locals and teachers reacted warmly: some were moved to tears and comparisons to Princess Diana surfaced. William praised Kate’s resilience and noted family life carries on with their children George (12), Charlotte (11) and Louis (8), and even a fond mention of their late dog Lupo — “lupo” means wolf in Italian.
