Princess Kate Gets Her Hands Dirty Meeting Creatures and Critters on Her Second Day in Italy

Catherine, Princess of Wales visits the "Salvador Allende" Scuola dell'infanzia, during the second day of her visit to Reggio Emilia on May 14, 2026 in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

Princess Kate's solo visit to Reggio Emilia in Italy has seen the royal focus on a topic she holds dear—early childhood development. Following her arrival on May 13, the Princess of Wales quickly made it clear that she's "the children's princess," with a plethora of adorable, young fans turning out to meet the royal. On the second day of her European visit, Princess Kate further endeared herself to a group of schoolchildren by proving she has no fear when it comes to critters and creatures.

With three children at home—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—Princess Kate is likely no stranger to getting stuck into messy activities.
