Princess Kate and Prince William embarked on a series of engagements in South Wales, focusing on mental health initiatives in the region.

Their first stop was the Brinal Rehabilitation Centre, near Pontyclun, where they met with local communities to gain insight into the initiatives.

Kate, in a nod to Wales, donned an outfit that seemed to draw inspiration from Welsh national dress.

The princess wore a mid-length black and white houndstooth print skirt, resembling the gingham skirts traditionally worn by Welsh women during folk dancing performances.

Her skirt, the black and white houndstooth midi skirt from Zara, was paired with a cream-colored, bespoke Alexander McQueen coat and a white turtleneck top.

To further pay homage to Wales, Kate adorned her lapel with a daffodil, the national flower of Wales, which perfectly complemented the color of her coat.

Completing her ensemble, Kate opted for knee-high black suede boots and carried a small Amberley Crack Effect cross-body bag from Mulberry, valued at £675.

She also wore a pair of black gloves and sported a pair of dangling earrings.

The attention to detail in her outfit showcased her commitment to representing Wales during their visit.

During their visit, Kate and William were involved in the launch of a series of therapy gardens and allotments, aimed at providing mental health support for communities across South Wales.

The first garden will be built at the Brinal Rehabilitation Centre, and the couple were presented with plans that included a collection of allotments, a communal sensory and herbal garden, a mud kitchen, and an interactive learning space.

Their next engagement took them to the Aberyfyn Leisure and Fitness Centre, where they had the opportunity to meet local residents and learn about the impact of sports and exercise on mental health and well-being.

This visit highlighted the importance of physical activity in maintaining good mental health.

Lastly, Kate and William visited the Wales Air Ambulance Headquarters to meet emergency responders.

This final engagement allowed them to express their gratitude and appreciation for the crucial work carried out by these dedicated individuals.

Overall, the couple’s engagements in South Wales showcased their commitment to mental health initiatives and their appreciation for Welsh culture.
