The royal couple will meet with local community members who were affected by severe flooding on February 26

The Prince and Princess of Wales are set to visit Pontypridd in South Wales on February 26 ahead of St David’s Day celebrations on March 1.

The royal couple will meet with local community members who were affected by severe flooding that hit the town during Storms Bert and Darragh in December 2024.

Their visit will include stops at the historic Pontypridd Market and the Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland, where they will engage with residents and business owners.

Princess Kate, 43, and Prince William, 42, will begin their visit at Pontypridd Market, a community cornerstone since 1805.

The market, which houses businesses ranging from butchers and greengrocers to bookshops and textile companies, will welcome the royal couple to The Welsh Cake Shop.

At the establishment, which has served traditional Welsh cakes for over 25 years, the Prince and Princess will meet the current owner.

The royal couple will have the opportunity to prepare and cook their own Welsh cakes during their visit.

Following their Welsh cake-making experience, the Prince and Princess will join local business owners at the market’s Fountain Café.

The discussion will focus on the market’s vital role within the local community and its significance to Pontypridd.

Business owners will also share their experiences of the recent December flooding and its impact on their establishments.

The royal couple will then visit Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland, a community space established in January 2021.

The site was transformed from an overgrown, flood-damaged area into a vibrant garden where locals participate in activities such as gardening, woodwork and weaving.
