The Princess of Wales, who embarked on her first solo overseas tour to Italy after her battle with cancer, stepped out on Wednesday in a stunning bespoke light blue pantsuit.
Kate had arrived for a two-day visit to Reggio Emilia, northern Italy, for her passion project, the Center for Early Childhood Development.
When she emerged from her vehicle for her inaugural engagement in Piazza Camillo Prampolini, she was greeted by a crowd awaiting her vision. Mayor Marco Massari was also waiting for royalty outside the square.
Catherine will receive the city’s highest honor, the ‘Primo Tricolore’, in recognition of her work in early childhood development.
This is a significant step in Princess Kate’s royal duties after she recovered from her battle with cancer last year.
Ahead of Kate’s arrival, a royal aide revealed that the princess feels “energized, excited and enthusiastic” about her job, as she is ready to embark on a global mission in her work.
“I think it’s only fair that her first international trip since her illness focuses on an issue that she is committed to championing for decades to come and it’s a real issue that she wants to highlight,” the aide had said.
