The Prince and Princess of Wales stepped out on a mini-tour of Wales last week, wowing the waiting crowds wherever they went.
The couple were officially handed their new royal titles when King Charles made his first speech to the nation following Queen Elizabeth's death last September. In the months that have followed, Prince William and Kate have made a number of visits to the country which, former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond says, is proof that they are taking their positions "very seriously".
Speaking exclusively to OK!, Jennie revealed her thoughts on Prince William eschewing the type of investiture ceremony that saw his father crowned Prince of Wales in 1969, but rather visiting the country on a regular basis, with wife Kate, to strengthen ties.
