Catherine’s second engagement took her to REMIDA, a creative recycling centre that transforms discarded materials into hands-on learning tools for schools.
The visit aligns with the Reggio Emilia philosophy’s focus on nurturing creativity, curiosity, and environmental awareness from an early age.
The Princess’s final engagement took place at Agriturismo Al Vigneto, a vineyard and restaurant nestled in the nearby hills.

There, she joined the chef in preparing tortelli, a traditional pasta dish from the Emilia-Romagna region, which was served for lunch.

On Wednesday, the Princess of Wales arrived in Reggio Emilia, Italy, to advance the international mission of The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
During her two-day visit, she will explore leading approaches to early child development, which focusses on creativity, relationships and hands-on discovery.

Central to her visit was the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre, a premier hub dedicated to the promotion of the Reggio Emilia Approach. During her time there, the Princess met with local educators to gain deeper insights into the specific principles that have made this model a cornerstone of early childhood excellence worldwide.

The Princess stepped out in a cornflower blue pantsuit by London-based fashion designer Edeline Lee.
These coordinating separates are anchored by the 'Lola' blazer (£1,350), featuring intricate ruching at the reverse that sculpts the waist into a peplum silhouette. The single-breasted piece is finished with classic notched lapels and contrasting white covered-button.
The matching tailored trousers are the 'Averill' style (£650) defined by a high-waist that are fitted at the hip, with a feature pin tuck pleat down the centre of the draped front leg.
Beneath the blazer was her white Holland Cooper Shirt Bodysuit.
Kate debuted a new handbag by British luxury goods house, Asprey London. It is their 167 Mini in Sky Blue bullskin. ID by @GabiK_blogoKate via X.

On Friday, the Prince and Princess of Wales hosted a garden party at Buckingham Palace on behalf of King Charles III.

They were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
Zara Tindell was also in attendance.
The garden parties are a cherished royal tradition, with the Monarch hosting several each year during late spring in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The events provide an opportunity for members of the Royal Family to recognise and celebrate individuals from across the community for their outstanding public service and contributions to society.
Today, the Princess debuted a custom new look by Self-Portrait, combining the jacket from the label’s Cream 3D Flower Polka Dot Midi Dress with a pleated polka-dot skirt also seen on a dress offered by the brand.
It’s unclear whether the ensemble is made up of separates or a single dress, as the brand is well known for designing dresses that cleverly mimic the appearance of two-piece outfits.
Kate wore her hair partially pulled back and debuted a vintage straw hat by Mitzi Lorenz, featuring black floral embellishments and a dramatic oversized black net bow at the back. ID by @GabiK_blogoKate via X.
She carried her Forever New 'Lily' Woven Clutch.
On her feet were the Ralph Lauren 'Celia' Calfskin Pumps.
The Princess wore jewellery with deep familial connections, adorning herself with the late Queen’s Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings and Princess Diana's Nigel Milne triple-strand pearl bracelet.
On Wednesday, the Princess of Wales visited the University of East London to launch the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood’s new report, “Foundations for Life: A Guide to Social and Emotional Development”.
The guide serves as a valuable resource for professionals working with babies, young children, and families.
During the visit, the Princess met with families and spoke about the research, highlighting the importance of a trusted network of professionals who can provide clear, consistent support and advice during the early years of a child’s life.

For today's launch, Kate wore her sand-toned Roland Mouret pantsuit featuring a single-breasted stretch-cady blazer and coordinating wide-leg trousers.
