Summary
Catherine used a new essay on her 2-day Reggio Emilia visit to argue that "genuine human connection" matters more in an increasingly digitalised world, tying the message to early childhood development.
The Royal Foundation released new photos alongside the essay, which says children need love that is "quiet and unconditional" and calls for early years to be treated with urgency comparable to climate change.
The trip last month was the Princess of Wales' first official overseas visit since cancer treatment, and aides said it marked a step up in her carefully managed return to public duties.
Her team is now considering other places with distinctive early-years models, signalling that support for young families will be the central theme of her public work.
