Prince William And Princess Kate'S Heartwarming Wales Engagement

On February 26, 2026, Prince William and Princess Kate made a notable visit to Powys, Wales, ahead of St David's Day, which is celebrated on March 1. Their engagement began at the Hanging Gardens community center in Llanidloes, where they participated in various local activities and interacted with community members. The couple was warmly welcomed by crowds despite the rainy weather, with many waving Welsh flags and holding daffodils, the national flower of Wales. During their visit, Kate engaged with children by playing rock, paper, scissors, stating, "Let's do it again. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot," showcasing her approachable demeanor. The couple also sampled local delicacies, including traditional Welsh stew cawl and cider, with William humorously noting, "I will have to try some, what do you recommend?" (Shropshire Star).
