Adorable moment as 4-year-old girl beams shyly as Prince William compliments her daffodil outfit during St David’s Day school visit in Wrexham

Prince William shared a sweet moment with a little girl dressed as a daffodil this afternoon as he visited Wrexham to mark St David’s Day.

The Prince of Wales, 41, spent time with pupils from All Saints’ Primary School to see their traditional ways of celebrating the feast day that marks the patron saint of Wales.

The royal leaned over to chat to the adorable schoolgirl about her daffodil outfit as she beamed at him in a sweet video shared on Radio City News Tweet page.

He told four-year-old Esme Dale: ‘I like your daffodil, that’s great.’

When the sweet video was posted to X/Twitter, people gushed over the “cute” little student.

During William’s visit, students presented him with Welsh dragon toys for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

As he received the presents, William said, “The kids will love this when I get home with these boys.”

They also gave him some flowers for Kate. He said to them, “I will pass them on to Catherine as well, thank you very much.”

The children also took part in the traditional Welsh folk dance Dawnsio Gwerin and baked Bara Brith, a Welsh tea bread flavored with dried fruit and spices.

The prince later met Year 6 pupils who were learning about the Gresford mine disaster, which killed 266 men in an explosion and underground fire in September 1934.

Upon his arrival at school, the children gave him a bouquet of flowers for his wife Kate, while she is at home recovering from surgery.

Kate won’t fulfill any official royal duties until Easter after abdominal surgery in January – and Kensington Palace insists she is still ‘doing well’.

Earlier in the day, the Prince poured a pint and had a whiskey with Hollywood star Rob McElhenney at The Turf pub next to Wrexham AFC – the world’s oldest pub in a sports stadium, which featured in the Disney+ ‘Welcome to Wrexham ‘-series.

He met staff, charity workers and locals to find out more about the site. He then walked onto the pitch at the team’s Racecouse Ground to hear stories about the club’s rise since McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds took over in 2021, and to meet staff and players.

The Prince also met with Welsh speakers from Patagonia – and at the stadium was presented with a Wrexham AFC shirt from footballers Ben Tozer and Luke Young.

On the road outside the pub, a three-year-old girl named Florence Boyle handed William a daffodil and blew him a kiss, before the prince thanked her with a high five. They then posed for a photo with her mother Katie, 35, and father David, 37.

William also quizzed diehard fans about their fairytale ride with Reynolds and McElhenney, who bought Wrexham AFC and revived the club’s fortunes.

The future king met McElhenney and regulars at the Turf pub, a stone’s throw from Wrexham’s ground, and praised their achievements, which have boosted tourism and last season saw the club promoted to the Football League after a 15-year absence .

He said: ‘It’s a great success story you’re building here, everything you’ve started and achieved is fantastic, so onwards and upwards – it’s exciting.

‘And anyone who is a real football fan wants you to do well.’

McElhenney and tenant Wayne Jones took William behind the bar and he tried to pull a pint of the popular Madri lager. His first attempt was all froth and declared “terrible” by the prince, and his second was not much better.

‘I still have a terrible head on it, that’s why I don’t work behind the bar. That could be settled in about an hour, talk to each other,” he joked.

McElhenney suggested his own blended American whiskey brand Four Walls, and the pair knocked back a shot each. William also told McElhenney that he “loves” cider.

Also today, William visited the memorial to what was one of Britain’s worst mining disasters and met relatives of those killed – as well as people involved in setting up the memorial and preserving its history.

The disaster occurred in the early hours of the morning when the number of workers on site was much higher than normal as many had doubled their shifts so they could watch a football match in Wrexham later that day.

William also met members of the Wrexham Miners Rescue Station which opened in 1913 to train rescuers in miner rescue techniques.

In 1934, many of those training at the station helped with the mission to rescue workers trapped in the Gresford disaster, which killed three of them.
