The Princess of Wales offered a touching health update to members of the public during her Welsh visit today, describing her encounters with well-wishers as nourishing for her spirit.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n\n

\n

The exchange came after the man enquired about her wellbeing following her health challenges.<\/p>\n

Catherine underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024, subsequently revealing two months later that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Her treatment concluded by September that year, and she announced in January 2025 that she had entered remission.<\/p>\n

When asked about Prince George, the princess responded warmly: “He’s doing very well, thank you. They are at school today, and I am going to go back and see them this evening.”<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Catherine had visited Melin Tregwynt, a historic woollen mill nestled in a remote corner of Pembrokeshire near Fishguard.<\/p>\n

The princess arrived wearing a vintage Welsh wool coat, appropriate attire for touring the facility renowned for its premium blankets and throws.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Staff guided her through the entire production process, from weaving through to the finishing touches applied to their fabrics.<\/p>\n

In the quality control department, Catherine was invited to repair a broken thread in a roll of reversible cloth under the guidance of employee Paula Harding.<\/p>\n

After completing a small two-inch repair, Ms Harding praised her technique: “She did it right, it’s amazing, and she didn’t go through the other side, that’s skill \u2013 she’s got the skill.”<\/p>\n

The princess remarked during the task: “You have to have really good eyesight and patience.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Catherine’s afternoon took her to Hiut Denim, a family-run jeans manufacturer in Cardigan with deep roots in the town’s textile heritage.<\/p>\n

The area has produced denim since the 1960s, when a local factory employed over 400 workers crafting 35,000 pairs weekly before closing in 2002. Hiut revived those skills when it launched in 2011.<\/p>\n

The princess met veteran cutter Claudio Belotti, who brings five decades of experience to his craft, before trying her hand at cutting organic Mari jeans.<\/p>\n

“I love making things, so I think I would really enjoy making denims,” she said, joking there was “no pressure” as she worked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Catherine also stitched a “Made in Wales” label onto a pair of \u00a3245 organic Hack jeans destined as a gift for Prince William.<\/p>\n

“He will love those,” she remarked upon learning the trousers were for her husband.<\/p>\n

Catherine has demonstrated a sustained passion for British textiles and craftsmanship through numerous visits to manufacturers across the country.<\/p>\n

Over the past 12 months, she has toured weaving facilities in Carmarthenshire, Suffolk, Kent and County Tyrone.<\/p>\n

In January, she explored a tartan-weaving studio in Stirling, and last year examined a William Morris fabric sample book at the V&A East Storehouse in Stratford.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
