William and Kate carry out first engagement in Wales since being given the titles

William and Kate are visiting Anglesey and Swansea in Wales Tuesday (27 SEPTEMBER 2022), in their first appearance in the country in their new roles as Prince and Princess of Wales.

The titles were conferred upon them on the death of William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and the accession of his father, Charles, to the throne. King Charles III used his first public address as king to appoint William the new Prince of Wales, a title reserved for the heir apparent. As the oldest son of the king, he also became Duke of Cornwall and remains Duke of Cambridge.

First, the royal couple visited the RNLI lifeboat station in Holyhead on the island of Anglesey to meet lifeboat crew, volunteers, and those helped by the life-saving service.

The couple lived on the island between 2010 and 2013, when the prince worked as a search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force.

The Prince and Princess of Wales then moved on to Swansea, to visit a redeveloped church which supports local people in the city.
