The Cambridges will
visit Wales to celebrate its national day on 1 March.
On St David’s Day, Prince William, 39, and Kate, 40, will travel to
Abergavenny and Blaenavon in Wales to learn about the importance of the
agricultural industry to rural populations and how community organizations are
providing support to young people while also celebrating the history of the
region.
The royal couple will
visit Pant Farm near Abergavenny, a goat farm that has been providing milk
to a local cheese producer for nearly 20 years, where they will hear about the
challenges and opportunities faced by the sector and how the farm works with
local industries and services.
Following their time at
Pant Farm, William and Kate will then visit Abergavenny Market to see
first-hand how important local suppliers are to rural communities and to mark
St David’s Day.
Next, the Cambridges will
stop off at the Blaenavon Hwb, a community-focused youth centre that helps
to support over 600 local young people, where they’ll have the opportunity to
enjoy some of the activities the centre lays on, including making Welsh cakes.

William and Kate visiting Anglesey in 2019
The couple’s last joint
visit to Wales took place in December 2020, when they stopped off at Cardiff
during their royal train tour of the UK. William
also travelled to Brighter Futures in Rhyl last
May.
William and Kate
also lived in Anglesey from 2011 to 2013,
when the Duke worked as an RAF helicopter pilot.
The Duke and Duchess have
just enjoyed the February half-term with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. It’s not known if the family-of-five managed a
getaway during the break or whether they stayed at their Norfolk home, Anmer
Hall, as they tend to do during school holidays.
The Duchess will carry out
a two-day working visit to Copenhagen from
22 to 23 February, with her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
