Along with this vintage photo, Princess Catherine included a quote at the beginning of her caption: “Faces are a baby’s best toy.”
The reason for this rare upload is Shaping Us, the new campaign that the Princess of Wales launched just last week, which she described in the rest of her caption. She wrote, “On Tuesday we launched #ShapingUs to raise awareness of the vital role our early years play in shaping the rest of our lives. This weekend, we’d love for you all to spend time with your friends, families, colleagues and communities talking about your early childhoods and how they’ve shaped your lives.”
Princess Catherine closed the caption by asking others to take part in digging up childhood snaps. “I hope you’ll also consider joining me in sharing a picture of yourselves before your fifth birthday to help with those conversations and to share some smiles and memories too,” she said. Then, she added, “[Photo] with Dad, by Mum,” and she signed the caption “C.”
