At Swiss Valley Community Primary School, William was not just a royal visitor but a champion of Welsh culture. Engaging with pupils who participated in the 2024 Urdd Eisteddfod, he immersed himself in the rich tapestry of Welsh language and traditions. Ten-year-old Ruby Davies, a winner in the festival, even gifted friendship bracelets for George, Charlotte, and Louis, showcasing the personal touches that made William's visit so special.
