The Princess of Wales has launched a series of animated films on YouTube aimed at supporting children's emotional and social development. The project, developed by the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, is designed for use by charities, families, and early years education professionals.

According to Euronews, the main film and six explainer pieces promote the importance of nurturing relationships between adults and children to help them build strong emotional foundations. The content is also available in Welsh and with British Sign Language. 

In June, the Princess took part in a creative workshop at the foundation, meeting with illustrators and early years practitioners involved in the films' production. 

The campaign highlights the Centre's broader goal of raising awareness around the lasting impact of early childhood experiences. It comes as the Princess remains on a break from public royal duties after undergoing cancer treatment earlier this year.
