Prince William and Kate Middleton’s upcoming together trip is announced as they travel to a special location
Kate Middleton and Prince William are teaming up for their second joint appearance of the year…and there will be cake for a special celebration.
Kensington Palace confirmed on Feb. 20 that the Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Pontypridd in south Wales on Wednesday, Feb. 26. The royals are making the trip before St. David’s Day, a day of national celebration for Wales,
on March 1 and will meet members of the local community to learn about life in the town. Pontypridd was hit with severe flooding from Storm Bert and Storm Darragh in December 2024 and the couple will hear from local people who were affected then.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will pack several stops into their trip to Wales, kicking off the visit at the historic Pontypridd Market to meet local business owners and have the chance to prepare Welsh cakes.
Princess Kate is sure to ace the cake-making, as she’s known to bake birthday cakes for her children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.Princess Kate, 43, and Prince William, 42, will then head to the Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland.
The community garden was established in 2021 as a safe place for all, and the royals will see how locals restored it to full splendor after the space was affected by the flooding in December. They’ll also hear about why the community garden is so special to the people of Pontypridd as a restorative place in nature, a sentiment Princess Kate referenced when discussing what brought her strength after undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
“I really felt like I needed to get the sun. You need loads of water and loads of sunlight,” the Princess of Wales said at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London on Jan. 14, the Daily Mail reported.
