Prince William (41) visited the town of Wrexham in Wales on Friday. There he met, among others, the actor Rob McElhenney (46).

Prince William was visiting Wales on the national holiday, St David’s Day. His first stop was The Turf pub, which is close to Wrexham AFC’s football stadium.
The club has received a lot of attention after it was bought by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in 2021.
Reynolds is currently working on the editing of the film “Deadpool” and therefore could not be present.
The TV documentary “Welcome to Wrexham” has taken the football world by storm, and last year the Welsh team moved up to League Two, which is the fourth tier of English football.
The Prince met the club’s staff and representatives of local organizations at the pub, writes People. There he heard about how the pub is important to the local community.
The Prince then visited the Racecourse Ground football stadium. William, who is president of England’s Football Association, was briefed on the club’s development under the new owners. He also met Wrexham AFC staff and players.
Prince William visited Wales alone. His wife, Princess Kate, is still on sick leave after an operation in January. The palace has previously stated that she will probably not be back in public until after Easter.
