POLL: Should Princess Kate do more solo overseas trips?
Princess Catherine arrived in Italy yesterday for a solo trip.

Princess Catherine has wowed royal fans across the globe this week as she kick-started her royal trip to Italy on Wednesday. The Princess of Wales, who hasn’t carried out a royal trip overseas for quite some time as a result of her cancer diagnosis and treatment in 2024, has been all smiles on her tour so far, with the second day of engagements set to be underway within a few hours.
The trip, which has seen Catherine travel without her husband Prince William, has already seen the future Queen carry out engagements and visits regarding her passion and work for early years development in children. She was welcomed by the city’s mayor Marco Massari yesterday as she began the trip with her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
The princess looked visibly happy to be in Italy, where crowds lined the streets to meet her on Wednesday.

Catherine, 44, spent time meeting members of the public in these crowds, where she showed her impressive skills by communicating with the locals in their native language.
The princess also showed her skills in communicating with children as she met a number of youngsters.
While Catherine is usually accompanied by her husband on royal trips abroad, this has not been the case this year as William instead has stayed at the family’s Forest Lodge home with the couple’s three children.
