The Princess of Wales was resplendent in an emerald gown today as she appeared in a new video to launch her new campaign to shine a light on the important ‘childhood’.
It comes after she launched her new ‘Shaping Us’ initiative last night with a glitzy reception at BAFTA in London. The initiative, which Kate has described as her ‘life’s work’, will be ambitiously advertised in cinemas and on billboards across the country.
And today she appeared in a new video shared on her official social media page, wearing a smart green blazer with a black round neck underneath.
She said: ‘Our childhood, the time from conception to the age of five, forms the foundation of our lives.

‘But as a society we now focus more of our time and energy on later life.’
Kate explained that she is now launching the Shaping Us campaign, adding: ‘To raise awareness of the life-changing impact we can have, when we create a world that supports, nurtures children and those who care for them.
‘By focusing our collective time, energy and resources on these most protective years, we can make a huge difference to the physical and mental health and happiness of future generations.
In the clip, the king swept her hair into a luxurious blow-dry, tying a section of it behind her shoulder.

She chose neutral makeup for the occasion, with a touch of eyeliner and a pop of nude lipgloss.
At the same time, she wore a minimal gold necklace and a pair of earrings.
The project, which was launched today, is a long-term project for the princess, starting with how children develop and the importance of formative years.
It will ‘explore in greater depth the importance of the child’s social and emotional world’ and the importance of relationships, environments and experiences.

Last night, Kate looked stylish in a red jumpsuit as she launched the campaign in London.
Speaking at the event, the 41-year-old said: ‘The campaign is basically about shining a spotlight on the importance of childhood and how it shapes the adults we become.
‘During this time, we lay the foundation and building blocks for life. And it is when we learn to understand ourselves, understand others and understand the world we live in.
‘This is why it is necessary, not only to understand the unique significance of the years. It’s only our first, but we must know what we can all do to help the next generation. In the future, be a healthy adult.’

Kate, who was accompanied by her husband Prince William, looked elegant in her Studio 54 inspired dress with flared pants.
The event was attended by newly appointed ‘champions’ from the worlds of music, science, sport, celebrity and academia including presenter Rochelle Humes, English footballer Leah Williamson and broadcaster Fearne Cotton.
Presenter Kate Silverton, a TV presenter who trained as a child therapist, praised the princess for her ‘sheer dedication’ and tackling the problem.
In the evening, a short film was selected to open the process, highlighting the development of children and young people to meet their first experiences.

The multi-media campaign is part of a wider push by the Royal Foundation’s Center for Early Childhood, launched by the Princess in June 2021, to raise awareness of how our school-age children shape our lives.
It is set to run for at least five years, and has been described by a Kensington Palace spokesman as the princess’ “life’s work”.
The princess spoke enthusiastically about the campaign in oA letter published in yesterday’s Mail on Sunday, in which she sets out her plans for ‘making ourselves’.
She wrote an impassioned plea on her laptop as she prepared for the launch of the campaign, which began with a week of publicity, including last night’s event at BAFTA.
A report produced by the Early Childhood Center revealed that the first 5 years lead to better future health than any other developmental stage, with our brains growing faster than they do now.
It also hopes to ‘break the cycle’ for parents who have experienced childhood difficulties themselves.
Royal aides said the idea for the project began even before Kate became a mother.
