Princess Kate beams as she plays with baby during hospital visit

Résumé détaillé

The Princess of Wales has arrived at the Chase Community Hospital in Hampshire to speak with patients and staff about how her early years project can help babies and families in need of support

The Princess of Wales was seen beaming as she played with a baby during a visit to a hospital.

The mum-of-three is in Hampshire for a visit to the Chase Community Hospital, where she is meeting patients and staff. The Princess of Wales arrived at the hospital this afternoon wearing a grey striped suit and burgundy turtleneck, with matching handbag.

Kate was greeted by hospital staff before making her way inside where she joined in a play session with six-month-old baby Enid and six-month-old Ruby.

During Kate’s visit, she will see first hand how a project funded by The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood is being expanded to help identify more babies and their families who need extra support.

During the visit, Kate will meet health visitors using the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB), an evidence-based observational tool that helps healthcare and childcare professionals identify early social and relational withdrawal in infants aged 0 to 24 months.

The Princess of Wales will also observe a baby health and development review, meet families who have benefited from additional support following an ADBB assessment, and join discussions with healthcare professionals and NHS representatives interested in implementing the approach within their own services.

Last month, the future queen announced a new project as part of her early years work, to explore how the role of nature can support social and emotional development in babies and young children.

The Princess of Wales has long been a champion of early years development with The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.

The new research will bring together evidence, expertise and practical experience from around the UK and the world, to better understand how nature-rich environments can help nurture confident, curious, creative and emotionally healthy children.
