Kate Middleton brightened a Reggio Emilia classroom when a child's paper read "lupo," and the Princess suddenly recalled a cherished family pet. Read on to discover the full story!

Warm moment at the preschool

On May 13 the Princess of Wales visited Scuola Comunale d'infanzia Anna Frank to see the Reggio Emilia Approach. While sitting with the children she pointed out the paper that said "lupo" (Italian for wolf) and shared a personal memory, much to the delight of those present.

Lupo: small dog, big personality

Kate spoke fondly of Lupo, the black cocker spaniel she and Prince William received from her brother James after their 2011 wedding. She joked that despite his name he wasn’t large in size, but he had an outsized personality. The couple announced Lupo's passing in November 2020 in a touching statement.
