The country of Wales was overwhelmed as the new Prince and Princess of Wales visited the country on Tuesday, and the royals’ down-to-earth gestures honoured the locals.
Kate Middleton and Prince William made their trip to the country of Wales, marking their first ever trip after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. On their way, they visited the RNLI Holyhead Lifeboat Station to meet the working members, volunteers, and others they helped.
During the visit, the Princess of Wales connected well with a 4-year-old boy named Theo Crompton. The four-year-old kid was excited and thrilled to greet the royals with a small bouquet of pink roses of his size. Kate Middleton greeted the kid with a charm, crouched down, accepted the roses, and chatted with the young boy. William then joined the both and started chatting.
The pair walked a short distance to the Holyhead Marine and Café Bar after visiting the lifeboat station to meet individuals from local businesses and groups, including the Coastguard and Sea Cadets.
The royal couple travelled to the coastal city of Swansea in the afternoon to pay a visit to a renovated church that has been transformed into a thriving neighbourhood centre housing a food bank that assists over 200 people each week and Swansea Baby Basics, which provides necessities for at-risk mothers throughout the city.
Since the epidemic, Kate has been a part of the baby bank network and has previously assisted in sorting and unloading contribution packages for moms and babies in need.
Just before the royals arrived at St. Thomas’s Church, the church bells rang to the music of “God Save the King”, and several locals joined along the street to sing the song.

The 65-year-old Sarah East, a local of Wales, told PEOPLE that “It’s wonderful that Charles bestowed the title on them. He was always known as William of Wales as a boy. They’re so well-suited to it as they’ve lived in Anglesey and know all about Wales.”
Another local named Pauline Bushrod, 80, one among the crowd, said, “It’s brilliant they’re here. Our future King and Queen. It could not be better that it’s them.”
Most locals were greatly honoured by the fact that royals visited the country despite the mourning of their Majesty; that is something that the people of Wales adored.
Just a day after the Queen’s death at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 8, King Charles III appointed Prince William and Princess Kate to Prince and Princess of Wales titles. Just one day after the royal mourning time ended, the senior royals left for Wales as soon as it was feasible.
The royals’ visit to the country was meaningful as it holds a particular place in the heart of the Royals. This visit was the first home country visit that the pair lived in when Prince George was born. This sentiment is reflected in their choice to accompany Prince George and Princess Charlotte to Cardiff over the weekend, commemorating the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are more passionate about strengthening their relationships with the Welsh people and promoting and honouring the modern nation. And they had also planned to make another visit to Wales before the end of 2022.
