Kate Middleton is starting off the weekend with good news!
On Friday, the Princess of Wales made a big announcement related to her work with The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, a foundation she started in June 2021 "to raise awareness and inspire action, driving real, positive change on the early years" of childhood development.

"Great to see the expansion of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) trial to eight more NHS sites across the UK this year," she shared in the accompanying caption, explaining that she first learned of ADBB while on a trip to Denmark in 2022. The baby research trial aims to understand a baby's social cues and emotional development.
In the years since she was first introduced to the study, she was diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer and underwent treatment, but she didn't let that stop her from running similar trials in the U.K., and now, after much success, the trial is expanding.
"Babies start to express their feelings and communicate with the adults around them from birth. Helping parents to connect with them, understand their cues and give warm loving, responsive care can have a hugely positive impact on their social and emotional development. The expansion of the trial means that thousands more families will benefit from health visitors specially trained in this area, laying the strongest possible foundations for infant wellbeing in the earliest weeks, months and years of their lives," the 43-year-old royal wrote.

The foundation later added to the mom of three's remarks, writing in a separate Instagram post on Jan. 24: "Phase two of the trial of a tool used by health visitors to promote infant welling, is expanding across the country to health visiting teams in eight more NHS sites."
“Health visitors do such a vital job in our communities," said Christian Guy, executive director of The Centre for Early Childhood, in a statement. "I am delighted that we are now able to give more teams across the UK the support they need to help thousands of families to better understand their babies and build nurturing relationships, laying the strongest possible foundations for all that is to come in the years that follow.”

According to the Centre for Early Childhood, the tool is being rolled out in several areas of the U.K., including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The exciting professional news comes just about 10 days after the princess revealed she was officially in remission, a long-awaited update since she announced she had completed chemotherapy in September 2024.
