For the first time, the Princess of Wales has conveyed a message in Welsh to honor St David’s Day, as announced by Kensington Palace.
This week, Kate and the Prince of Wales made an unexpected visit to Powys, Wales, where they took a moment to greet supporters who braved the pouring rain in Llanidloes.
Kensington Palace released a unique video message for St. David’s Day featuring William and Kate on Sunday.
This was captured earlier in the week at the Windsor estate.
In a video message delivered entirely in Welsh, Kate and William can be seen sporting daffodils on their lapels, which is the national flower of Wales, in celebration of St. David’s Day.
The prince proclaims: "Wishing everyone in Wales a joyful St. David's Day!"
Kate remarked, "Wales holds a special place in our hearts, and we eagerly anticipate each visit."
"This country is stunning, boasting a deep historical background and amazing individuals.
"Hope your day is filled with joy and festivities alongside loved ones."
This week, the couple visited The Hanging Gardens, a community space dedicated to fostering resilience and creativity.
They reached the venue to the sound of applause from the crowds who had assembled outside in spite of the rain, many brandishing Welsh flags and clutching bouquets of daffodils.
The pair requested warm beverages at the café, with Kate opting for a cappuccino and William choosing a cup of tea, before settling down to converse with individuals creating festival signs in the Welsh language.
William and Kate also interacted with children aged three and four who were eagerly waiting for them, holding up signs they had created.
At a nearby market, William tasted a glass of cider before entering the kitchen where traditional Welsh cawl stew and Welsh cakes were being prepared in anticipation of St David’s Day.
Their visit was supposed to conclude, but after entering their vehicle and traveling for a brief time, William and Kate stepped out to greet the well-wishers who had assembled in the rain.
They both carried a dark umbrella and spent 25 minutes in pouring rain, conversing with individuals, including children who offered them bouquets of flowers and drawings they had created.
Kate shared high-fives and embraced others, while both she and William took photos and selfies with attendees.
