Prince William receives handmade gift from Princess of Wales amid England return

The princess got hands-on at the factory as she stitched a “Made in Wales” label to a pair of £245 jeans, which were subsequently given to her as a present for William.

When she was handed the trousers for the future King, she said: “He will love these.”

The 44-year-old was also given her own pair of yet-to-be-released jeans to add to her collection.

Catherine met with Claudio Belotti, who has over 50 years of cutting experience, to try her hand at cutting a pair of jeans.

Mr Belotti joked there was “no pressure” when the royal tried her hand at it.

During the process, Catherine said: “I love making things, so I think I would really enjoy making denims.

“The most adventurous I got was making a pair of pyjamas… and I don’t know where they have gone now.”

The princess also made the revelation of an addition to the Waleses' family while in the factory.

Catherine was seen meeting the family’s cocker spaniel, Barney. As she crouched down to stroke Barney, she said: “You are lovely!” and, speaking to staff, she went on to say: “We have the same breed of dog.”

The princess was then asked: “How old are yours?” to which Catherine replied: “So we've got a little puppy, he's only eight months, and Orla's five.”

Following the hands-on activity, Catherine took time to speak to well-wishers who were waiting on the street.

Speaking outside a factory in Cardigan, Catherine told one man who wished her continued recovery: "Thank you very much. This is good for my soul, meeting wonderful people."

The exchange came after the man enquired about her well-being following her health challenges.

Catherine underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024 and subsequently revealed two months later that she was receiving preventative chemotherapy.

Her treatment concluded by September that year, and she announced in January 2025 that she had entered remission.
