Prince William and Princess Kate are not typically inclined to show gestures of love in front of their millions of admirers. Recently, however, they were influenced by the romantic atmosphere of Valentine's Day. Last year was the most challenging, so the couple shared a symbolic photograph online, highlighting their mutual affection and respect.

The future royal couple decided to visit Wales in connection with Saturday's celebrations of St. David's Day, their national holiday. As part of their visit, they went to the flood-affected town of Pontypridd. Storms Bert and Darragh, which struck the region late last year, claimed the life of one resident and destroyed nearly 300 buildings.

Kate and William made a very tender gesture

For the Princess of Wales, it was only her second public appearance after months of battling cancer. The couple visited, among other places, the Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland, which opened in 2021 and serves as a venue for community integration. Upon arriving at the market, they met with local entrepreneurs and participated in preparing traditional Welsh pastries.

Kate and William arrived in Pontypridd by train. A short video appeared on their profile, showing them walking through the train station, tenderly holding hands. This scarce sight sparked enthusiastic reactions from internet users, who noticed an apparent change in the couple's public demeanor.

It's beautiful to see so much love; I love them both. They deserve happiness after such a terrible year; I feel like the "no public displays of affection" rule in the royal family went out the window when Kate got cancer. It's as if they realized how close they were to losing each other; They've been through so much together... what a strong couple; I'll be watching this video on repeat. May God bless you - we read in the comments.
