Kate and William had the privilege of meeting with members of the Windrush Cymru Elders, Black History Cymru 365, and the Ethnic Minority Youth Forum for Wales. These encounters provided them with a valuable opportunity to learn about the profound influence of the Windrush generation, a group of individuals who made their way to the United Kingdom from the Caribbean in 1948.

The Windrush generation played a vital role in rebuilding Britain after World War II, contributing to the country’s economic and cultural prosperity. Despite facing significant challenges, they persevered and made lasting contributions to British society.
