The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has begun an official visit to Italy to study early education, the first after being diagnosed with cancer.

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, began an official visit to Italy on Wednesday, marking her first foreign outing since the announcement of her cancer diagnosis in 2024 and her remission in 2025. She arrived in Reggio Emilia to explore local early education methods, an important area for her foundation. Although she wore an elegant blue suit created by designer Edeline Lee, the princess surprised by her choice of color, departing from the tradition of wearing shades from the host country's flag. Contrary to expectations, Kate did not opt for an Italian designer but remained loyal to a London-based creator. Her visit attracted thousands of admirers in the city center, and the local press described her as a symbol of education and family, comparing her to Diana's popularity. This trip underscores the princess's full return to international duties after a long period of treatment and recovery.
