The Prince of Wales visited a Welsh town today to celebrate St. David’s Day

Prince William was handed gifts for George, Charlotte and Louis and a bouquet of flowers for Princess Kate by schoolchildren today.

The Prince of Wales visited All Saints’ Primary School during a trip to Wrexham and thanked the kids for their sweet gesture.


William was handed red, Welsh dragon toys for his three children and flowers for Kate as she continues to recover from abdominal surgery at home.

The prince said: “I’ll pass them onto Catherine as well, thank you very much.”

The prince visited the Welsh town to mark St David’s Day- the patron saint of Wales.

It comes after the royal missed a memorial service Tuesday for his late godfather, King Constantine, for “personal reasons.”

During his tour of the school, William was shown traditional ways of marking the day including Welsh folk dancing and baking Bara Brith, a Welsh bread.

William also met with children who were learning about the Gresford Mining Disaster, an event where 266 men were killed in an explosion in September 1934.

Before visiting the school, the Prince of Wales met with Hollywood star Rob McElhenney at The Turf pub, which is the world’s oldest pub at a sport stadium.

At the pub, the prince poured a pint and downed a whisky with the American actor who co-owns Wrexham AFC.

The prince joked: “That might settle in a couple of hours, talk amongst yourselves.”

William was also presented with a daffodil by three-year-old Florence Boyle from California as he met crowds in front of the football club.

Inside the stadium, the prince was pictured smiling as he held a red Wrexham shirt with “William” written on the back.

The prince praised McElhenney for the club’s achievements stating: “It's a great success story you're building here, everything you've started and achieved it's fantastic, so onwards and upwards - it's exciting.

"And anyone who's a true football fan wants to see you do well."
