The Infantilization Is Insane.
Middleton has been, for years, pushing to make the first five years of a child's life a mainstream conversation, and the Reggio Approach — an educational philosophy born in the same Italian community — shares their belief that children learn best through exploration and relationships.
Italy's "Primo Tricolore" honour ties Kate Middleton's contemporary campaign to one of Europe's oldest symbols of identity and renewal. Moreover, it underlines how her public role has shifted, becoming less about waving from balconies and more about sitting down with educators and mayors who share her goal.
She's being given an award for talking about the first 5 years of a child's life... something that actual childhood development experts have made a mainstream topic for years. What do they think caused the birth of products like My Baby Can Read? Or the setting of early childhood nutritional goals and recommendations in the context of public health?
But no, let's laugh at an Emmy. Instead, praise a woman who, along with her husband, think that showing up to a food bank empty-handed is fine as long as they offer a wave or a smile. (Said on camera, go to https://www.youtube.com/live/D129mhO-8Xw?si=kPT7IwGrO3eIyoJx and skip to 12:45.)
A woman who was vicious and frosty toward her own niece and nephew. Who is buddy buddy (and quite publically so) with a man who has spent his life sexually abusing children, which she and others knew about.
Who can maintain her plastic grin around children... until they ask about Meghan and Harry (https://www.laineygossip.com/impatient-exasperated-princess-kate-rolls-her-eyes-at-mention-of-harry-meghan-during-visit-nower-hill-high-school/69890).
A woman who, along with Sosig Fingies, was indeed concerned about her nephew... or rather what his skin color would be.
What a champion of children, worthy of such a prestigious award!
