"@UCL's landmark ‘Children of the 2020s’ study will illustrate the importance of the first five years and provide insights into the most critical aspects of early childhood, as well as the factors which support or hinder positive lifelong outcomes," she wrote via Twitter. "Our early childhoods shape our adult lives and knowing more about what impacts this critical time is fundamental to understanding what we as a society can do to improve our future health and happiness. I am committed to supporting greater in-depth research in this vital area and I’m delighted to be meeting all those behind @UCL's study at this early stage."

Kate viewed some research into early childhood, which was from the 1940s.

Earlier this year, the mom-of-three announced an exciting new venture.

"Today I’m proud to be launching The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood — let’s embrace this golden opportunity to create a happier, more mentally healthy and more nurturing society," she wrote via Twitter in June.

"My own journey into understanding the importance of early childhood actually started with adults and not with children," she began. "It was about prevention. I wanted to understand what more we could do to help prevent some of today's toughest social challenges or what more we could to help with the rising rates of poor mental health. I've spoken to physiatrists and neuroscientists, to practitioners and academics and parents alike and what has become clear is that the best investment for our future health and happiness is in the first five years of life."

She continued, "And that is why today I am launching The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, working closely with others, the center hopes to raise awareness of why the first five years of life are just so important for our future life outcomes and what we can do as a society to embrace this golden opportunity to create a happier, more mentally healthy and more nurturing society. By working together, my hope is that we can change the way we think about early childhood and transform lives for generations to come because I truly believe the big change starts small."
