Kate Middleton and Prince William are celebrating St. David’s Day with a special message that marked a first for the Princess of Wales.

“Wales is very close to our hearts, and we look forward to every visit,” the mom of three continues.
William adds, “It is a beautiful country with a rich history and wonderful people,” as Kate then concludes, “Wishing you a day of celebration with family and friends.”

The Prince and the Princess of Wales wrote, translated from Welsh, in their Instagram post’s caption: “Happy Dewi Festival Day! 🏴 🏴🌼.”
The video marked Prince William and Princess Kate’s first time speaking in Welsh together publicly.
St. David’s Day is an annual Welsh celebration that honors the patron saint of Wales, St. David. It is celebrated each year on March 1.
Kate and William’s video message was shared days after the pair visited Powys in Wales to celebrate the holiday on Thursday, Feb. 26.
While greeting well-wishers during a walkabout on their visit, Princess Kate was met by a man who asked for her autograph.
She declined the request, however, as it is a protocol that British royal family members follow due to the risk of forgery.
“I can’t sign things, I’m so sorry. I can shake your hand, though,” Kate said to the man, as seen in a video shared by Hello! on Instagram.
Princess Kate then shook the man’s hand and gave him a hug, before she waved goodbye to greet others in the crowd.
