The Princess of Wales is on a two-day royal trip to Italy.

The Princess of Wales kicked off the second day of her Italy tour with a visit to the Salvador Allende preschool, where she observed how nature-based learning is embedded within the Reggio Emilia approach.

Catherine, who is undertaking her first foreign visit since announcing her cancer diagnosis, stepped out in a cream pleated midi dress with a crew neckline by Ralph Lauren, layered with a stone-hued blazer by Blazé Milano. In keeping with her signature diplomatic style, the Princess opted for an Italian brand for the official engagement.

The Princess of Wales met with children and staff at the Salvador Allende pre-school, where she is observing how teachers have been embedding nature-based learning into their curriculum.

Touching down in style

Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrived in Italy on 13 May, stepping into Reggio Emilia with a warm reception at Piazza Camillo Prampolini, where she was welcomed at the town hall to the sound of cheers from gathered onlookers.

For the occasion, the Princess moved away from her signature midi silhouettes in favour of refined power tailoring, a direction that is increasingly embraced among royals. She looked effortlessly chic in a wide-leg trouser suit by Edeline Lee, opting for a striking Laguna blue over classic black. This shade beautifully complemented her sun-kissed complexion.  

Carthine paired her look with the ‘Celia’ tan pumps by Ralph Lauren and debuted a new bag, the powder blue ‘167 Mini Handbag’ from Asprey London.
