During the visit, William stopped at an organic farm where he joined staff at an award-winning bakery known for producing traditional Cornish pasties.
The prince gamely attempted to learn the art of shaping the pastry, carefully copying the technique used by the bakery staff as they pinched and folded the dough. However, the process proved more difficult than expected.
Laughing at his efforts, William admitted that it was harder than it looked. He joked that the result might not be suitable for sale and compared his finished pasty to “a funny little crab.”
The moment also prompted a lighthearted mention of his wife. William joked that this was exactly the kind of task Princess Kate would be far better at and said she would be “all over this” if she were there.
A region recovering from powerful storms
While the visit included moments of humour, it also focused on the challenges Cornwall has faced in recent months. Earlier this year, severe storms swept through the region, leaving tens of thousands of homes without electricity and thousands more without running water.
