King Charles and Queen Camilla were in high spirits as they visited Brecon in Wales today. The royal couple visited the community centre, Theatr Brycheiniog, where they met a freshly shaved alpaca during a tour of the outdoor grounds. Both known to be animal lovers, Queen Camilla gave the alpaca a gentle stroke while King Charles happily posed for photos next to the adorable creature.
During their visit, King Charles looked dapper in a tan-colored suit with a red striped tie, while Queen Camilla opted for a stylish emerald green midi dress with brown block heels. The Queen was graciously presented with a bouquet of white and light pink roses by event organizers.
The royal couple also expressed interest in watching sheep shearing and later visited Brecon Barracks, the regional army command in Wales. Earlier in the day, they delighted in the warm welcome of cheering schoolchildren during their visit to Brecon Cathedral, as they marked the centenary year of the cathedral and met with cathedral representatives and organizers of the Brecon Choir Festival.
Inside the cathedral, the royals listened to a moving performance by the choir. However, last year the Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford, faced criticism for revealing a private conversation he had with King Charles. Despite this, the Queen and the King continued to engage with performers and staff, showing their warm and genuine interest in the local community during their visit.
As the day concluded, it was revealed that King Charles had given up his home in Wales, Llwynywermod, which he had owned since 2007. Discussions are ongoing about increasing public access to some of the King’s properties to help with funding. However, the King currently has no immediate plans to buy another home in Wales and chooses to stay in hotels to support the local economy.
The restored Llwynywermod, which features traditional Welsh craftsmanship and materials, holds significant historical connections, as the original owner was related to Anne Boleyn. The retreat is adorned with climbers planted by King Charles, including Albertine roses, jasmine, and honeysuckle. Notably, six English field maples from William and Kate’s wedding were rehomed at Llwynywermod.
King Charles, who cherishes the “enduring landscape of Wales,” inherits a substantial income from the Duchy of Cornwall. As the future King, Prince William also shares a deep appreciation for Wales and its natural beauty.
In summary, King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to Brecon was filled with joy and genuine interest in the community. They immersed themselves in various activities, displaying their appreciation for Welsh culture and their enduring commitment to public service.
