This year, at its heart, was Katherine\u2019s own Welsh ultra-premium gin brand Cygnet, The World\u2019s Most Luxurious Gin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests enjoyed Cygnet 22 Martinis, Cygnet G&Ts and Cygnet 77 Old Fashioneds, each a toast to Welsh craftmanship.<\/p>\n

The guest list included a host of celebrated Welsh names including TV presenter Alex Jones, former rugby captain Alun Wyn Jones OBE, Ben Davies, Captain of the Wales Football team, Bass Baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, Composer Sir Karl Jenkins and singer songwriter Jack Savoretti.<\/p>\n

Guests were treated to Welsh-inspired cuisine and a traditional Welsh harp performance, followed by a surprise performance by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Catrin Feelings.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the evening, Katherine said: ‘St David\u2019s Day creates a deep sense of pride in where I come from, in the language, the landscape, the music, the warmth of the people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Wales shaped me long before the world stage ever did. Saint David lived simply, preached kindness and said \u201cGwnewch y pethau bychain\u201d \u201cdo the little things\u201d, I love that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Greatness doesn\u2019t always arrive with noise; often it\u2019s found in humility and small daily acts of goodness.\u00a0That ethos feels very Welsh: hardworking, grounded, quietly strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘So, whether I\u2019m wearing a daffodil on stage somewhere far from home or gathered with friends for dinner tonight, it\u2019s about pride, gratitude, and remembering that wherever I go in the world, Wales, and those \u201clittle things\u201d travel with me.\u201d’<\/p>\n
