Princess Kate has returned to work this week in Windsor just days after a security scare. The Princess of Wales, 43, held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, according to the Court Circular.
The meeting was a private meeting and not attended by the press. It took place at Windsor Castle just a stone’s throw from her Adelaide Cottage home on the estate, where she lives with husband Prince William, 42, and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Not only did the meeting take place just days after the children’s May half-term came to an end, but it also came after a security scare on the castle grounds on Sunday, which is currently being investigated.
Thames Valley Police released a statement about the incident earlier this week that read: “At just after 1pm on Sunday 1 June a man entered restricted grounds at Windsor castle. He was quickly challenged by Met police officers and arrested. He did not enter the inner grounds of Windsor Castle.
“He was arrested on suspicion of trespass on a secure site and possession of class A drugs. He has been bailed and an investigation is ongoing by Thames Valley Police.”
While it is not known what exactly Princess Kate’s Early Years Meeting was about on Wednesday, it was believed to have been focused on her Early Years initiative.
This was established by the princess through the Centre for Early Childhood in 2021, which she founded as a cause close to her heart.
The foundation aims to create awareness of the extraordinary impact the early years of someone’s life can have on the rest of their lives. The foundation also aims to take actions which can help to transform society in the future.
As well as Princess Kate’s post half-term return to work this week, Prince William has also stepped back into the spotlight.
On Wednesday, the prince visited the Army Air Corps (ACC) in Wattisham, Suffolk, in his role as its new colonel in chief – a role appointed to him last year.
During the visit, the prince watched a combat PT session, served sandwiches and chatted to soldiers and their families.
