Children are at the heart of Princess Kate’s first solo visit abroad in four years, and she made time to greet plenty of little ones when she touched down in Italy on Wednesday, May 13 to kick off a two-day trip focused on early childhood education. Locals waited for hours to meet the future Queen—including one very tiny fan.
Thousands of people queued outside the Town Hall in Reggio Emilia, Italy from as early as 7:30 a.m., per GB News royal correspondent Cameron Walker, and when the Princess of Wales arrived nearly six hours later, she was greeted by an incredible response. In a video shared on X by Emily Ferguson of the Daily Express, one woman held her infant up over the barrier, bouncing the baby girl to get Kate’s attention, but the royal had to head inside for her official welcome to the city.
