Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales has delivered a message in Welsh for the very first time in honor of St David’s Day.
This week, Kate and the Prince of Wales made an unexpected visit to Powys in Wales, where they took a moment to greet supporters braving the heavy rain in Llanidloes.
Kensington Palace released a heartfelt video message for St. David’s Day from William and Kate on Sunday.
This was documented earlier this week at the Windsor estate.
In a video message delivered entirely in Welsh, Kate and William are seen sporting daffodils on their lapels, which is the national flower of Wales, in celebration of St. David’s Day.
The prince expresses: "Wishing everyone in Wales a joyful St. David's Day!"
Kate expressed, "Wales holds a special place in our hearts, and we eagerly anticipate each visit."
"This country is stunning, boasting a deep history 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 center dedicated to fostering resilience and creativity.
They reached the location to the sound of applause from the audience that had assembled outside in spite of the rain, many brandishing Welsh flags and clutching bouquets of daffodils.
The pair ordered 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 exited 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 various individuals, including children who offered them bouquets of flowers and drawings they had created.
Kate exchanged high-fives and embraced others, while both she and William took photos and selfies with attendees.
