The Princess of Wales has given a rose to a prison’s mother and baby unit, where it was planted in the garden to mark a year since her visit.

Action for Children, of which Kate is patron, said the “Catherine’s Rose” was placed in its new home on Wednesday by a mother and child who met the princess at HMP Styal, a women’s prison in Cheshire, last February, and staff from the charity.
