"Thank you, Pontypridd!" the video was captioned, as fans rushed to comment and share their thanks for the rare look into their marriage. See the video below:

The video came as the two left the town of Pontypridd following a joint engagement in Wales.

Catherine, 43, and William met young volunteers at Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland who were growing their own plums and making them into jam, and Kate was overheard promising to send them her own jam recipe that they could use.

During the trip she also offered insight into life with her three young children in Norfolk, revealing that they had been learning to forage and had been impressed by a "huge" puffball mushroom she had found near their home.

"The children thought it was fascinating," revealed the royal.

It was William and Kate's first joint engagement since the February half-term break, and the two arrived in the Welsh capital of Cardiff by train which departed from London.

They then made their way 10 miles north to Pontypridd Market, which has been at the heart of the community since 1805.

They went head to head in a challenge to bake traditional Welsh cakes and met with local business owners.

At the first event of the day, Kate wore one of her favorite red Alexander McQueen coats, a double-breasted jacket featuring black buttons and pocket detailing.

She teamed it with a chocolate brown rollneck, a tartan skirt and long suede boots.

Kate then had an outfit change, swapping her red McQueen coat for the cropped tweed Katherine Hooker jacket that she first wore to Cheltenham races in 2007. She also sported a checked wool midi skirt by Gucci.
