The Princes of Wales, caught: the return that marks the beginning of a new stage

After weeks of speculation about their whereabouts, Prince William and Kate Middleton have reappeared in public at an event filled with symbolism. Their first official act of the year has been in Wales, the territory that gives their titles their name, after enjoying their vacation on the island of Mustique.

The Princes Resume Their Agenda with a Symbolic Visit
The couple’s return has been marked by great anticipation. This trip marks Princess of Wales’s first official engagement since she stepped back in March of last year due to her cancer treatment. The chosen destination has been Pontypridd, in the south of Wales, one of the towns that suffered the devastating floods last December.

A Tour Through the Heart of Wales
The Princes of Wales arrived in Cardiff by train before leaving the station to head to their destination by car. As usual, Kate Middleton chose her outfit with a nod to the Welsh flag, combining the colors red and green. Upon their arrival in Pontypridd, they wore the traditional yellow daffodil on their lapel, a symbol of St. David’s Day.

The first stop of the visit was Pontypridd Market, a place with over 200 years of history that houses small shops, butcheries, greengrocers, and craft stores. There, they stopped at The Welsh Cake Shop, where traditional Welsh cakes are made. William and Kate not only chatted with the owners but also tried their hand at preparing and cooking their own cakes.

Later, they visited Fountain Café, where they met with local entrepreneurs to discuss the market’s importance in the community. During the conversation, they recalled their stay in Wales between 2011 and 2013 when they lived in Anglesey after Prince George’s birth while William trained with the Royal Air Force.
