Kate Middleton surprised royal fans with an outing to Wales on Thursday, Jan. 30—her first solo trip out of the country since 2023 after battling cancer—and she paid an emotional visit to a children’s hospice as well as a textile manufacturer during her busy day. While stopping by a sock factory might sound like a typical engagement for Princess Anne or The King, it actually fits in well with one of Kate's passions.
The Princess of Wales—wearing an old favorite Zara dress she debuted in 2020—traveled to a rather aptly named textile company for a royal engagement Thursday, stopping by Corgi's Ammanford, Wales factory. The brand has held a royal warrant from King Charles (the then-Prince of Wales) since 1989, and was recently granted a new warrant by The King which will be displayed on their products.
