Today marked the first official visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Wales, following their recent acquisition of the titles.
Their day began at the RNLI Holyhead Lifeboat Station in Anglesey, a site with a rich history as one of the oldest lifeboat stations along the Welsh coast.
Yesterday concluded the Royal Family’s official mourning period. Next week, the King and Queen Consort are scheduled to resume their public engagements in Scotland.
Recalling their earlier days, the Prince and Princess visited the place where they first lived as newlyweds and where they began their family life. Anglesey holds a special significance as it was also the location of Prince William’s first royal engagement as a child.
During their visit, they engaged with the local community, meeting with representatives from small businesses and local organizations, including the Coastguard and Sea Cadets.
More details about their visit can be found in Victoria Ward’s article for The Telegraph and coverage by The Times of London.
One of the highlights of today’s visit was when four-year-old Theo Crompton, who was visibly thrilled, met the royal couple. Theo, dressed in his school uniform, presented them with flowers during their stop at the RNLI station.

The visit underscores the deep connection the Prince and Princess have with Wales, not just as part of their official duties, but also on a personal level, reflecting their past experiences and the significance of these places in their lives.
