class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The adorable moment came as Kate, 44, and <a target=\"_blank\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" target=\"_self\"

St David&#8217;s Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">As they attended an art workshop\u00a0at Oriel Davies, a public contemporary art gallery,\u00a0a little girl appeared to wrap her arms around the Princess after gifting her a handmade necklace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Images show the young child wrapping her arms around a smiling Kate as she received the piece of jewellery in a sweet moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In a separate heartwarming instance, another schoolgirl embraced the Princess as photos showed her burying her face inside Kate&#8217;s coat during a meet-and-greet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kate was later photographed crouching low to accept bouquets from a group of children gathered outside the Oriel Davies gallery in Newtown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Princess and Prince were visiting a project funded by the Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award, focused on supporting the well-being of children and young people in the local area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In a sweet surprise for the royal, a girl gifted her a homemade necklace made during the art workshop, as a delighted Kate insisted on wearing it immediately.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\" style=\"height: auto;\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\">  <\/div><\/div>\n<p

meet-and-greet outside a Welsh art gallery &#8211; but wasn&#8217;t so quick to let go<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The pair shared a laugh as Kate moved her hair to one side, so that the necklace could be properly fastened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continued their pseudo-royal tour of Jordan, carrying out a series of humanitarian visits to charity organisations in the capital, Amman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, it appears Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were snubbed by the King and Crown Prince of Jordan, as a source told the Daily Mail: &#8216;There is no meetingscheduled between the Duke and Duchess [of Sussex] and the Jordanian Royal Family.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Princess of Wales demonstrated her thrifty approach to dressing by re-wearing an Alexander McQueen coat today as she joined Prince William at a Welsh community event for their first engagement of the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kate, 44, teamed the stylish burgundy number with her merlot Gianvito Rossi leather boots, both of which she wore in 2024 during the Qatar state visit, as well as her matching ME+EM pussy bow blouse and her \u00a3570 CO pleated midi skirt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Adding a touch of glitz to her colour-coordinated ensemble, the mother-of-three sported her \u00a31,600 Kiki McDonough Citrine Cushion Drop earrings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She finished the look with a daffodil pin on one of the lapels of her coat, honouring Wales&#8217; primary symbol, which is worn on St David\u2019s Day, the annual celebration that commemorates the patron saint of the nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kate and William travelled to Powys, the county with the most volunteers per capita in the UK, today to celebrate community ahead of the March 1 commemoration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\"

sustainable living, artistic expression, and shared experiences through their caf\u00e9, performing arts centre, indoor market, community garden, kitchens and workshops.<\/p>\n<p

class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kate and William then visited Oriel Davies, a public contemporary art gallery based in Newtown, rural Powys, to see a project funded by the Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They learned how regular creative workshops led by artist Nicky Arscott encourage social connections and build confidence among young people, through connection to nature and a celebration of cultures and community cohesion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Following this, they visited a local Welsh learners group, in the Gallery Caf\u00e9 practicing their Welsh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They&#8217;ll then visit Hafan Yr Afon, a hub for culture, community, and heritage located in Newtown, Powys, and run by Open Newtown, a
