In a heartfelt gesture, the Prince and Princess of Wales have expressed their condolences following the tragic passing of Peter "Pete" Davies, who they had met during a royal visit to South Wales last year. The couple's kind words were shared during Davies' funeral service, highlighting their appreciation for the impact he left on those around him.

During their visit, the Prince and Princess of Wales had the opportunity to meet Davies and purchase £127.50 worth of pizzas from his van. These pizzas were then generously shared with the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team, showcasing Davies' generosity and commitment to supporting the community.

Tragically, just months after their encounter, Davies received devastating news. Doctors discovered that he had developed cancer in both his adrenal gland and liver. Despite the efforts to fight the disease, Davies sadly passed away earlier this spring.

Ahead of the funeral, the Prince of Wales took the time to write a heartfelt letter to Davies' widow, Tracey. In the letter, William expressed their deepest sympathies upon hearing the sad news about her husband. He acknowledged the immense void that Davies' passing would leave in Tracey's life, extending his heartfelt condolences to her and her family.

William also fondly recalled the joyous moments shared with Davies during their encounter. He mentioned how much they enjoyed meeting Davies and serving pizzas alongside the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team. The couple's appreciation for Davies' generosity and spirit was evident in their words, emphasizing the positive impact he had on those around him.

The letter served as a touching tribute to Davies' life and legacy, highlighting the respect and admiration the royal couple held for him. It also underscored the importance of community support and the impact that small acts of kindness can have on individuals and organizations alike.

As the Prince and Princess of Wales continue their royal duties, their heartfelt words serve as a reminder of the significance of compassionate gestures and the power of human connection. Their condolences extend beyond Davies' immediate family, offering comfort and support to the wider community that was touched by his kindness and generosity.
