Prince William Delivers First Public Message in Welsh for St David's Day

The Prince of Wales highlighted Wales’ history, culture, and people in a social media video after learning conversational Welsh through informal methods.

Prince William marked St David's Day with a pre-recorded video message, delivering his first public speech in Welsh.
The Prince praised Wales' history, culture, and language, emphasizing its inspiring landscapes and people.
William has been learning conversational Welsh informally, reportedly using the Duolingo app, but has not taken formal lessons like his father, King Charles III, did in 1969.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children, have been learning basic Welsh phrases to connect more deeply with the Welsh community.
The video follows the couple's recent visit to Pontypridd, where they engaged with locals, cooked Welsh cakes, and wore daffodil pins to honor Wales' national symbol.
