Princess of Wales to visit Leeds today in latest royal appearance after King Charles' tour of Yorkshire

She is seeking to increase public understanding of the crucial importance of the first few years of a child’s life.

Princess Kate’s visit comes after her father-in-law, King Charles III visited Leeds in November – his first visit to the city since ascending to the throne.

His Majesty unveiled a special plaque at Leeds Central Library to mark the 10th anniversary of the Child Friendly Leeds initiative, which for the past decade has worked to make Leeds the best city to grow up in.
