Princess Kate, known as 'Caterina' during her visit, surprised children at the Salvador Allende preschool in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where she engaged in outdoor learning activities. Dressed in a blazer by Italian brand Blaize Milano, she joined children aged three to six in exploring nature, handling newts, and creating art from clay. The visit, which was not announced beforehand, attracted a crowd of supporters who chanted her name as she arrived. Kate participated actively, practicing her Italian and encouraging the children to express themselves creatively outdoors. She emphasized the importance of nature in education, quoting David Attenborough about the necessity of experiencing nature to protect it. Before leaving, she received a book about nature education and expressed her gratitude, stating her passion for fostering environments where love can flourish. The visit was described as emotional by the preschool's pedagogical coordinator, who noted Kate's genuine connection with the children.
