William and Kate visit Wales for first public engagement since cancer treatment

The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, visited Pontypridd, Wales, marking their first joint engagement outside of England since Kate's cancer diagnosis in 2024. This visit comes as Kate continues her gradual return to public duties following her remission announcement earlier this year. The couple engaged with local residents affected by severe flooding from Storm Bert and Storm Darragh, which struck in late 2024. Their itinerary included a tour of Pontypridd Market, where they met business owners and participated in making traditional Welsh cakes. The visit also serves as a lead-up to St. David's Day celebrations on March 1. This outing reflects the couple's commitment to community support and their continued public presence following personal health challenges.
