Kate Middleton laughs as she and Prince William visit Welsh farm on St David's Day
KATE Middleton and Prince William today visited Wales to celebrate the nation's people and culture.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, laughed as she tried her hand at making a Welsh delicacy on a goat farm near Abergavenny to mark St David's Day.
The royal couple visited Pant Farm, which has been providing milk to a local cheese producer for nearly 20 years.
They then went to Abergavenny Market to see first-hand how important local suppliers are to rural communities.
Fifteen minutes down the road in Blaenavon, the duke and duchess attended the Blaenavon Hwb – a community-focused youth centre that helps to support over 600 local young people.
William, 39, and Kate rolled up their sleeves and joined young people to make the teatime treat of Welsh cakes.
Kate wore a khaki-brown jacket with a bright red scarf, accompanied by a yellow daffodil pin – the Welsh national flower.

Like many South Wales valley towns, Blaenavon has had to overcome economic hardship in the last 30 years.
The Hwb aims to help the next generation reach its potential by providing a space for learning and supporting vulnerable young people.
During their visit, the duke and duchess also took the opportunity to celebrate an important historical moment as they "planted a tree for the Jubilee" as part of the Queen's Green Canopy, an initiative created to celebrate the monarch's 70-year reign.
Wales holds a special place in Kate and William's hearts after living in Anglesey for several years before moving to Kensington Palace.
Both have spoken fondly about their "immensely special" first home, describing it as "beautiful".
Wills said after moving out in 2013: "This island has been our first home together, and it will always be an immensely special place for us both.
"Catherine and I look forward to returning again and again over the coming years with our family.
"I know that I speak for Catherine when I say that I have never in my life known somewhere as beautiful and as welcoming as Anglesey."
