Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was born and grew up in Wales, posted a picture on Instagram of Catherine Middleton hugging a young girl and wrote, "I love our Princess of Wales I love our Welsh National Costume." The Welsh national dress, according to Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales, is modeled on what rural Welsh women wore in the early 19th century — striped flannel petticoat, topped with a flannel gown, apron, shawl, and cap. The girl in the picture with the Princess of Wales paired the traditional costume with a pair of white high-top sneakers. The sweet picture of the princess and a royal fan was loved by many in the comments, many noting how cute the pic was.
The couple's visit to Wales came the first day after royal mourning ended; official duties were to be limited by the royal family in the week after Queen Elizabeth's funeral, per the Evening Standard. The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Windsor to meet people involved in the queen's committal service – Kate Middleton wore a touching tribute during the visit.
