The Princess of Wales shared a new statement about early childhood being the “golden opportunity to build strong foundations for future life health and happiness”
It may be summer vacation time, but Kate Middleton is still keeping the youngest members of society top of mind.
The Princess of Wales, 43, is backing a series of videos that help spread the right messages for building happier and healthier children, a key part of her royal work.
In a new message, Princess Kate says the first five years of someone’s life “offers a sacred opportunity to transform our societies for the better” by equipping those children to “face the future.” The films are available on the Centre for Early Childhood’s YouTube channel starting Wednesday, August 6.
Kate — who is currently on vacation with her husband Prince William, 43, and their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 — has taken a close role in the production of the short animated films that are designed for professionals and volunteers who who work with babies, children and families.
She spent time with two of the illustrators and met early years practitioners who have been involved in the development of the films, which are produced by Kate’s Centre for Early Childhood, during a creative workshop in June.
Photos from the meeting show the Princess of Wales, sporting a green suit, checking out the designs and discussing the series while seated around a table.
