In a heartwarming moment, the King of Wales shared touching sentiments about his son, the Prince of Wales, as they departed from the palace alongside the Queen.
During a speech commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, the 75-year-old King highlighted Prince William’s deep connection to the country.
Expressing gratitude for being able to share this significant moment during a period of great change and achievements, the King conveyed, “It has been an honor and privilege throughout my life to witness the profound love and respect my son holds for the people of this ancient land, which has only grown stronger with time.”
Reflecting on his son’s special bond with Anglesey, particularly at Wynwes Mon, a place of personal significance, the ex-Prince of Wales expressed joy at joining in the commemoration of the shared history of the past twenty-five years within the Senedd.
The Prince of Wales, who assumed the title in September 2022, and his wife, the Princess of Wales, once called Anglesey their home from 2010 to 2013, where he served as a search-and-rescue pilot at RAF Valley.
During a recent engagement, the 42-year-old future monarch reunited with his former flying instructor, marking an emotional moment.
Last year, following his appointment as the Royal Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Valley, the Prince of Wales made his inaugural official visit to the base.
The King, after his coronation and the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, returned to the Senedd for a long-awaited visit.

The presence of the King and Camilla added a touch of regality to the event, evoking a sense of pride and tradition.
As we reflect on the enduring ties that bind the royal family to the people of Wales, it is evident that the Prince of Wales’s connection to the land and its residents runs deep.
