Prince and Princess of Wales latest news: Will and Kate commemorate late Queen with a visit to the WI
Will and Kate commemorated the anniversary of the Queen’s death by visiting the WI.
The life of a senior royal is pretty busy, especially when birthdays and anniversaries roll around - but Will and Kate decided to commemorate the third anniversary of the Queen’s death by paying a visit to the Women’s Institute (otherwise known as the WI).
The WI was founded in Britain in 1915, during World War I, to encourage women to participate in growing and preserving food to support the war effort.
The very first WI in the UK was formed on 11 September 1915 in Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, Wales.
The Queen (Elizabeth II) was later a patron of the WI. She attended WI meetings regularly at Sandringham and was a keen supporter of the organisation.
Today, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited the National Federation of Women's Institutes in Sunningdale, west of London.
The pair will meet with members from Sunningdale WI and WIs across Berkshire to hear about the work of the federation and how it gives opportunities for women to socialise, learn new skills and engage in community projects.
The royal couple were pictured chatting with patrons and enjoying some of the homemade cakes provided by WI members (we just know they tasted incredible!)
