Future Queen highlights early childhood initiative amid royal family’s emotional moment
Princess Kate shared a heartfelt message just as King Charles issued an emotional statement mourning the passing of Sir Julius Chan, a key Commonwealth figure.
While the King paid tribute to Papua New Guinea’s longest-serving politician, Kensington Palace released a statement from the Princess of Wales, focusing on her ongoing commitment to early childhood development.
Posting on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Kate reflected on her visit to the National Portrait Gallery, where she engaged with schoolchildren as part of the Shaping Us framework by the Centre for Early Childhood.
"It was fantastic to see The Centre for Early Childhood’s Shaping Us Framework, which is based on key science, expressed in such an innovative, creative, and fun way at the National Portrait Gallery today," she wrote.
She continued, "The Bobeam Tree Trail is a brilliant example of how organisations can embrace the principles of social and emotional development, and the Centre’s framework, to engage children and families in their communities."
Expressing gratitude, she added, "I hope that many people will be able to enjoy it over the coming weeks! Thank you to the National Portrait Gallery and to the staff and pupils of All Souls CE Primary School for a brilliant day. C."
As King Charles navigates personal loss and ongoing health challenges, Princess Kate remains focused on her advocacy work, reinforcing her role as a dedicated champion for children’s development and well-being.
