Show Notes
Following the Princess of Wales' solo trip to Italy - her first international engagement since 2022 - this episode asks what the visit means for Catherine's next chapter.
Host Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen is joined by Emily Nash, Royal Editor at Hello! Magazine, and Lizzie Robinson, Royal Journalist at ITV News, who accompanied Catherine to Reggio Emilia as she explored the city's pioneering approach to early childhood development.
The panel examines why this was far more than a routine overseas visit, what Catherine learnt on her fact-finding mission, and why her Centre for Early Childhood could become one of the defining projects of her future as Queen.
They discuss Catherine's return to the international stage following her cancer treatment, the remarkable reception she received in Italy, her ambition to take the early childhood conversation global, and how she is helping shape a modern monarchy alongside Prince William.
From family values and public popularity to royal evolution and future queenship, this episode explores why Catherine's Italian mission may prove to be one of the most significant moments of her royal career so far. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
