This Striking Black-and-White Photo of Kate Middleton Is a Must-See

And it’s not just this one shot.

Another close-up from her visit captures the same energy—Kate grinning warmly as she greets the locals. The way the sunlight falls on her only adds to the moment, giving her a glow that can only be described as pure happiness.

Apparently, I’m not the only one who noticed. Over on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram page, they shared multiple posts recapping the trip and the comments section quickly filled with people pointing out just how “happy and healthy” Kate looks.

Of course, she wasn’t there alone—Prince William was right by her side. The royal couple spent the day exploring the town ahead of St. David’s Day (Wales’ national holiday on March 1), stopping by local shops, meeting residents and—perhaps the sweetest part—trying their hand at making traditional Welsh cakes.
