Reggio Emilia (Italy) (AFP) – Britain's Princess Catherine wrapped up a trip to Italy on Thursday with a pasta-making class on her first official overseas visit since her 2024 cancer diagnosis.

Catherine prepared "tortelli" -- a regional speciality similar to ravioli -- at a farmhouse hotel near the city of Reggio Emilia.

Looking a bit unsure of herself, the Princess of Wales kneaded the dough, applied a filling and cut out the pasta shapes as Ivan Lampredi, a chef, assisted her.

"Sorry, I'm very slow," she could be heard saying at one point.
