The Princess of Wales made a stunning appearance today in Leeds, as she launched her Shaping Us campaign.<\/p>\n

She exuded effortless elegance in a bespoke emerald coat by Alexander McQueen.<\/p>\n

Completing her ensemble were a pair of brown knee-high boots worth \u00a31,280 from Jonvato Rossi and a cream dress.<\/p>\n

The purpose of her visit was to discuss the significance of the early childhood years, which is the focal point of her new campaign film.<\/p>\n

Her first stop was Kirkgate Market, where she graciously interacted with the public.<\/p>\n

Despite receiving a wolf whistle from an admirer, she remained composed and engaged with her adoring fans who had eagerly gathered to catch a glimpse of her.<\/p>\n

Afterward, she proceeded to the University of Leeds, where she attended a lecture on the Psychological Approaches to Understanding and Supporting Children’s Learning module.<\/p>\n

Keeping her accessories minimal, the Royal wore gold earrings worth \u00a374 by Shilah London.<\/p>\n

Her hair was styled in a bouncy blow-dry, and she carried a matching green suede handbag worth \u00a3435 from Manor Atelier.<\/p>\n

Underneath her exquisite coat, the mother of three donned a cream midi dress adorned with a bejeweled belt that accentuated her waist.<\/p>\n

The Shaping Us campaign, which was officially launched today, is a long-term project initiated by the Princess.<\/p>\n

It delves into the development of children and emphasizes the importance of their formative years.<\/p>\n

During her visit to the market, she conversed with vendors who have dedicated over three decades to the market, as well as members of the public, gathering their thoughts on the impactful film that premiered at a BAFTA award ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Shaping Us short film, a 90-second claymation, showcases the development of a young girl from birth to age five, highlighting how interactions and environment shape her growth.<\/p>\n

This film will be screened in cinemas starting from Friday.<\/p>\n

Leeds was a deliberate choice for the Princess’s visit, as the city has a strong commitment to becoming the best place in the UK for young people and children to grow up.<\/p>\n

In 2012, the city launched Child-Friendly Leeds, firmly believing that investing in and supporting children, young people, and their families would yield immediate and long-term social and economic benefits.<\/p>\n

Through collaborative efforts with partners, Leeds City Council has successfully implemented enrichment programs that have resulted in a decrease in the number of children in care, increased educational opportunities for teenagers, improved school attendance, and enhanced employment prospects.<\/p>\n

Kirkgate Market, established in 1857, is a vibrant hub for local independent businesses.<\/p>\n

It offers a wide array of products, ranging from fresh produce to specialty shops, including a community library, cookery school, and volunteer center.<\/p>\n

At the BAFTA screening held the previous night, the Princess of Wales expressed her deep connection to the Shaping Us program, describing it as her life’s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
