The Princess of Wales is “excited” by the progress of her project to convince businesses to support Britain’s youngest children. The princess, who has been out of the public eye this year due to ill health, has been kept up to date about the work of her Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood, with a new report published this week. The report suggests that prioritising young children and supporting their caregivers could lead to “£45.
5 billion (NZ$94.6b) in value added for the British economy each year”, it is the culmination of a year’s work inspired by the princess. Its release is said to be a “crucial moment” for her early years project, which is said to be “rolling on as she recovers”.
A spokesman for the princess emphasised that the publication of the report does not mean that the princess is returning to work, with her Centre for Early Childhood running without her while she undergoes preventative chemotherapy and recovers at home. But the topic remains a “huge priority” for the princess, who has been “kept fully updated throughout the development of the Taskforce’s work” and has seen the report, the spokesman said. Christian Guy, executive director of The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, said: “I know that she [the Princess of Wales] is keen to encourage all businesses, no matter what their size or purpose, to join us on this journey and is looking forward to seeing momentum grow in the coming months.
