About this listen
Princess Catherine made an unannounced appearance in Oxford, England recently, visiting Home-Start Oxford, a nonprofit organization that provides free support for families with young children under five. The Princess, who is forty-three years old, joined parents and children at Rose Buds Stay and Play, participating in hands-on activities including sensory play, singing, storytelling and movement sessions. During the visit, she fully embraced the playful chaos, telling families that the messier, the better. When a child playfully injected her with a toy syringe, leaving flour on her elegant olive green trouser suit, she took it all in stride, asking another youngster what delicious creation they were making.
The visit showcased Catherine's continued dedication to early childhood development, which she has described as her life's work. Hello Magazine reports that during conversations with local parents, including sisters Mariam Namakula and Sumayya Nabatanzi, the Princess opened up about her own children's activities. She revealed that Princess Charlotte particularly enjoys outdoor activities and creative projects, and notably mentioned that Prince George is now twelve years old and will soon be starting secondary school, a reminder of how quickly the young royal is growing up.
Fashion-wise, Catherine demonstrated her commitment to sustainable royal dressing by rewearing a monochromatic olive green suit from British designer Victoria Beckham. Harpers Bazaar notes this marks the second time she has worn the sophisticated ensemble, having first debuted it in May at the British Fashion Council. This time she paired the fitted blazer and high-waisted trousers with a chic sweater top, light brown leather pumps, and her signature gold pendant coin necklace that honors her children.
The timing of the visit coincided with the rollout of new volunteer training based on animated films released by her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in August. The Princess also recently published a personal essay urging society to invest in relationships with each other, reinforcing her commitment to building compassionate communities through early years support.
