Kate Middleton’s Early Childhood Initiative Thrives Amid Cancer Treatment

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, made an initiative to encourage businesses to create the right conditions to help parents and their children. 

The Princess’ work made progress amid her cancer treatment. 

The Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood has published a new report that sets out the case for prioritizing early childhood and the first action to be taken as a result of its work.

Princess of Wales has not been seen publicly since the announcement of her cancer treatment in March. 

Kate  is not expected to return to work until instructed by her medical team as reported by the Palace. 

The Princess was updated about the work by Christian Guy, executive director of The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. 

"This is another crucial moment for Her Royal Highness’s early childhood work...its impact, and the work of her Centre for Early Childhood, is rolling on as she recovers,” said Christian on the night of the publication of ‘Prioritising Early Childhood for a Happier, Healthier Society.’

"[On Tuesday, May 21] some of the most significant businesses in Britain will be joining forces to deliver a 'major early years rallying call' to their fellow business leaders across the country...urging their peers to stand with them, the Centre for Early Childhood, and the Princess to help transform the way our country supports the vital early years," Guy added.

"The work of The Prince and Princess’ projects is 'always on,' and that has been no different for the Centre over the past five months with a great deal of progress being made under [Guy, the center’s director]'s leadership,” said the Princess’ spokesperson. 

“However, early childhood is a huge priority for the Princess and so she has been kept fully updated throughout the development of the Taskforce’s work, and she has seen the report," the spokesperson added.

The next stage in Princess’ project does not signal her return to work.
