Prince William shared a hug with a member of the public during a trip to North Wales.
The moment happened during the Prince of Wales’s journey to Colwyn Bay, where he went on a beach walk with members of the Marine Conservation Society’s Youth Ocean Network.
The network comprises a team of young people who work with the Marine Conservation Society to support youth engagement in marine conservation across the UK.
William then met volunteers and young people involved in the Marine Conservation Society’s Hiraeth Yn Y Mor project, before speaking to members of the public.
