Prince William and Kate stepped out for their second joint engagement of the week, just days after dazzling on the red carpet at the British Academy Film Awards.
The princess was presented with a handmade pearl necklace by a little girl who had also created her own artwork for the Oriel Davies apartment.
Clearly touched, Kate beamed as she admired the thoughtful gift, later sharing the sweet exchange on Instagram with the caption: “Thanks for the necklace! @orieldavies”.
William and Catherine happily attended the session, chatting with budding artists and getting a closer look at their colorful creations.
On Thursday, the glamor had given way to tradition, with the couple pinning daffodils to their outfits, a nod to St David’s Day and a proud symbol of Welsh heritage.
Kate seemed particularly pleased with several of the designs, pausing to compliment the young creators and ask about their inspiration.
Since being named Prince and Princess of Wales in September 2022, the couple have marked the national day with visits across the country in 2023, 2025 and now 2026.
Royal biographer Russell Myers recently reflected on their partnership, describing a “really interesting dynamic” between them.
According to Myers, the future king leans on Catherine not only in public life, but also behind the scenes.
