Prince William and Catherine delight fans with sweet message on St David’s Day: ‘They have an infectious kind of joy!’
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge posted a heartwarming snap today on the Kensington Royal instagram page, showing their playful side alongside some super cute dragon toys.
The photo was a nod to St David’s Day (today) and came accompanied by the message, ‘Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant hapus — Wishing a very happy St David’s Day to all our Welsh followers!’
The picture actually dates back to the beginning of February, when the Prince William and Duchess Catherine were visiting South Wales.

The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall also posted a message online, which read, 'To all our followers celebrating in Wales and around the world – wishing you a very happy #StDavidsDay! Dyma ddymuno Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus i’n holl ddilynwyr yng Nghymru ac o amgylch y byd – Cyfarchion #DyddGwylDewi!'
