Well, Dolly Parton and Kate Middleton share a deep-seated passion for supporting children \u2013 with Kate spearheading an<strong> Early Childhood initiative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The singer hopes to sit down with the <strong>Princess of Wales<\/strong> and have tea one day, talking about early childhood initiatives. Despite having the possibility to retire like a queen on a private island, Dolly will still put in the work and, most importantly, would like to discuss their passion for helping children.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>\u201c<em>So maybe that\u2019s what we can talk about when we do have tea.
