Kate Middleton Visits Windsor Family Hub for Early Childhood Mission as Prince Harry Hits Court
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, continues her mission to raise awareness about early childhood development while Prince Harry appears in court.
On Tuesday morning, Kate visited the Windsor Family Hub to learn more about how the centre supports families in the local area.
The hub is run by Achieving for Children, a non-profit community group, and aims to offer targeted support to foster family resilience and prevent issues from escalating.
During her visit, Kate spent time with several groups dedicated to the early years, which is a keystone of her public work.
She met with parents participating in a stress management class, a health visitor session, and a baby massage course.

She also heard from parents about how the Windsor Family Hub has made a difference and met staff behind the services.
Lynne Ferguson, Director of Children’s Services at Achieving for Children, said that Kate’s visit was an opportunity to experience a physical visualisation of the philosophy of the importance of the early years in a person’s life.
“She was really skilled with our families,” Ferguson tells PEOPLE following the Royal’s visit.
“The mothers were only told that Princess Kate was going to be the special guest at their morning meetings about half an hour before she arrived.
Some of the parents struggle to speak up in environments like that, but she had many of them relaxed and speaking up.”
Kate also met with a group of Muslim women, who were very open about the issues and challenges they have had and how they had been able to move through them with their families’ help.
“She’s incredibly knowledgeable,” Ferguson tells PEOPLE.
“I was really impressed with her knowledge.
She has spent time getting to understand the issues, meeting various groups and meeting families.
I get the sense that she has had lots of engagements and is really trying to understand what’s important for young people and children and families.
That shone through.”
The importance of early childhood development has been a focus of Kate’s public work for some time now.
She recently launched the Landmark Shaping Us campaign, which aims to increase public understanding of the crucial importance of the first five years of a child’s life.
The campaign hopes to transform the issue from one of scientific interest to one of the most strategically important topics of our time.
While Kate was visiting the Windsor Family Hub, Prince Harry appeared in court at the High Court of the Royal Courts of Justice in London to testify against Mirror Group newspapers, MGN, over alleged unlawful information gathering.
The Duke of Sussex launched the claim in 2019, alleging that his phone voicemails were hacked by the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, Daily Express, and more.
Prince Harry is one of over 100 people suing MGN for alleged illegal activity between 1991 and 2022, and one of four representative claimants chosen as test cases from the larger group.
If Harry and the other claimants win, the judge will use it to set the level of damages, amount of money, MGN could pay in other cases from other celebrities.
The claimants’ attorneys allege that senior editors and executives at MGN were aware and approved of the illegal activity.
The newspaper group has denied the accusations and said that some of the claims were brought too late.
Prince Harry’s appearance in court makes modern royal history as the first prominent member of the British royal family to give evidence in court in 130 years.
The last royal to do so was King Edward VII, who testified as a witness in a divorce case in 1870 and again in a slander trial over a card game in 1890 before becoming king.
Kate and Harry’s public engagements on Tuesday morning show their commitment to important causes and issues.
While Harry fights for justice in court, Kate continues to raise awareness about the critical importance of early childhood development.
Both are using their platforms to make a difference and create positive change in the world.
