Visit to Pontypridd

When visiting Pontypridd, a Welsh city that was affected by severe floods last year, William and Catherine tried out their skills in preparing traditional Welsh pancakes. The royal couple also visited the city market, where they met for business owners and a crowd that gathered on the streets.

public appearances by Prince William

For Prince William, this was not the first time that he distributed food to the public. In 2023, the future king surprised unsuspecting guests on a London food truck when he performed as a waiter and served vegetable burgers. These meat-free meals were prepared using environmentally friendly innovations by the winners of the Earth Shot Prize-a ten-year project that he launched to "repair and restore the planet".

preparation for Saint David’s Day

The visit on Wednesday took place only days before Saint David’s Day, a national holiday that is celebrated in Wales every year on March 1st. In November, the city of Pontypridd was one of many areas in Wales, which was affected by extreme floods during the Sturms Bert, which swept across the United Kingdom. Only weeks later, Sturm Darragh caused even more damage.

admirable resilience of the municipality

"The resilience of the community here, which is affected by the floods, is remarkable," wrote the Royals on their official Instagram account.

Katherine and her return to royal obligations

The visit to Wales marks a further return to royal obligations for Kate, which had withdrawn from her public duties last year in order to undergo treatment for an unspecified cancer. In September she announced that she had completed her chemotherapy and said she was doing "everything to stay free of cancer". Since then she has resumed her solo visits, including a visit to the hospital in which she was treated.

Valentine's Day greetings

At the beginning of this month, the couple posted a photo in love on Instagram for Valentine's Day with a simple red heart emoji as a caption.
