The Princess looked sophisticated in an Emilia Wickstead houndstooth dress. According to Kensington Palace, “The Harvard Center has long been a friend of The Royal Foundation and more recently The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, supporting with past research on the importance of the early years.”

Catherine launched The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in June of 2021. The Princess visited the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University “as part of her ongoing work to elevate the importance of the early years to lifelong outcomes.”
