The Princess of Wales is poised to undertake her first overseas royal visit since her cancer diagnosis.

Kate is scheduled to travel to Italy next week for a solo working trip with the The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.

This upcoming journey represents a major milestone for the future Queen, as it will be her first extended official foreign engagement in nearly three-and-a-half years.

The Princess, who revealed she was in remission at the start of 2025 , is “very much looking forward” to resuming international travel, according to her aides.

They described the visit as “an important moment in the expansion of the Centre for Early Childhood’s work on a global stage”.

Kate’s last official overseas visit occurred in December 2022, when she accompanied the Prince of Wales to Boston, USA , for the Earthshot Prize awards.
