Princess Kate reacts to 'crucial' progress in royal project amid public absence

Kate Middleton is said to be reveling in the success of her business taskforce’s new report about her Shaping Us campaign.

A recent report produced by the Royal Foudnation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood laid out a plan worth an estimated £45.5 billion to support parents wanting to return to work and help youngsters with social and emotional skills.

Executive director of the taskforce, Christian Guy briefed the Princess of Wales on the new report, who is said to be “excited” by the document.

He said: “Shaping Us was about awareness but also for her it’s so important to have action.

“So to have eight of the most significant businesses in Britain come forward, make the case to their fellow business leaders is vital – it’s exciting for her and it’s a priority going forward for our centre’s work.”

Mr Guy added: “This is another crucial moment for Her Royal Highness’ early childhood work because its impact, and the work of her Centre for Early Childhood, is rolling on as she recovers.”

For the unversed, the future Queen of England launched Shaping Us campaign to support children in their early years in 2022.
