Prince and princess travelled to South Wales in a joint engagement to meet victims of Storm Darragh and Storm Bert

The Prince and Princess of Wales came together for a day of engagements in South Wales in support of those affected by devastating storms in 2024.

Kate and William travelled by train to Pontypridd ahead of St David’s Day on March 1, a visit which was delayed by almost an hour due to train disruptions.

The couple shared a video of their arrival at Cardiff rail station on Instagram with a number of surprised onlookers around them.

They first visited Pontypridd Market, where they tried their hand at baking traditional Welsh cakes.

They went on to meet a number of locals who were affected by severe flooding caused by Storm Bert and Storm Darragh, which hit the region in late 2024.

The Prince and Princess spoke to local business owners about how flooding affected the area, having a sit down in the market’s Fountain Cafe.

Kate and William also visited Pontypridd’s Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland, established in January 2021, which aims to create a space and welcoming place for the local community.

It was drastically hit by the flooding, becoming overgrown and full of debris, but the space has allowed locals to take part in gardening, woodwork and weaving.

During their trip to Pontypridd the royal couple also made a private visit to the home of butcher Kevin Kidner, 61, who runs his business from the town’s covered market.

He was alerted to the flooding last year by a neighbour, but the water was soon three-feet deep and his family went into “adrenaline mode” putting up defences.

This is Kate’s second excursion to South Wales since returning as a frontline royal following preventative chemotherapy, after she visited Tŷ Hafan children’s hospice at the end of January.
