They had been taken into a food and drinks tent, where Sophie was also seen happily chatting to a mother and baby about local produce.
They went first to a chutney stand and then to the gin stall as William said: 'We've come from the chutneys straight into booze.'
They were shown several gins before each were given one to try.
He caught the Duchess going for another sip and joked to her: 'She said, 'You're not allowed to finish it'. You've got to watch her.'

Wills joked back: 'I've been caught out with whisky a few too many times.

The pair were also given a traditional Cornish pasty by Ann's Pasties.
They then moved to the Healeys Cyder Farm stand, where William said: 'Look at the Rattler selection. Ah, definitely I'm happy about that.'
Head of hospitality Laura Clerehugh, 36, said: 'I was going to say, you've had a Rattler.'
William responded: 'Everyone remembers where they were when they had their first Rattler, I can tell you that.'
He then laughingly agreed that you don't remember your last.
Wills then asked about the 'zero' on the bottle, and when told that it meant zero alcohol he put the cup down and said: 'Oh no, no, no. I need original. Someone bring out the big guns.'

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, UKTV execs confirmed the fate of that show and Battle in the Box They said: "[They are] both fantastic shows and maybe in another universe we might be keeping both of those shows at the moment landing shows at that budget and scale that's not where our heads are at. Advertisement "We are really looking to try and do something different so we can bring it back in volume. "They are great producers and we have absolutely work loved working with both of them." Silence is Golden saw a studio audience get £250,000 to share between them, all they had to do was not make a sound. This would prove difficult, as comedians including Katherine Ryan and Seann Walsh attempted to make them laugh and bring the prize pot down. Advertisement Any time an audience member - who were all mic'ed up - made a noise , the money would go down and if the entertainers brought the prize pot down to zero, they got to give the money to charity. Back in March, The Sun Online exclusively revealed Battle in the Box - hosted by Jimmy Carr - had been shelved despite a star-studded line up. Battle in the Box saw two pairs of celebrities go head-to-head in a series of mental and physical challenges, with their boxes being made bigger or smaller depending on if they were winning or losing. Inside Dermot O'Leary's new game show Silence is Golden - as presenter was left frustrated over technical blunders and a filming that lasted hours A source said at the time: "Battle in the Box is being rested and no more series are planned for now. "The show was one of the schedule staples for UKTV last year as they relaunched their channels with a bold new look. Advertisement "While there's no conversations happening about a second series, the show could return sometime in the future."

I'm A Celeb star ‘depressed and infuriated' after he's banned from driving by DVLA at 76 years old
The star sought out further medical help in a bid to be allowed back out onto the roads wheels come off I'm A Celeb star 'depressed and infuriated' after he's banned from driving by DVLA at 76 years old AN I'm A Celebrity star has revealed he has been left "infuriated" after being banned from driving at the age of 76. Christopher Biggins, who appeared on the ITV reality show in 2009, has hit out at the DVLA for revoking his license. 3 Biggins has been booted off the roads and banned from driving Credit: Getty 3 The I'm A Celeb star saw his license revoked by the DVLA Credit: Rex Advertisement The actor and panto star was informed earlier this year that his driving licence had expired and as such would need an eye test in order to get it back. The Daily Mail reports how Biggins went to an optician in Stratford, East London for his eye examination but soon discovered that he had failed and as such had been banned from driving with immediate effect due to no longer having a valid licence. Confirming the situation, Biggins said: "Ten days later [after the eye test], I got a letter from the DVLA saying I had failed my test and I wouldn't be getting my license back." Furious at the decision, Biggins decided to book himself in for further eye tests. Advertisement This included a visit to a doctor at Homerton Hospital who informed him he had a clean bill of health as well as a second visit at a seperate opticions. Both practitioners provided Biggins with letters to support their findings which he sent off to the DVLA - but the driving association refused to give the TV star his licence back and argued that what he had provided "does not show that you are able to meet the required medical standards for driving". With Biggins maintaining that his eye sight has never changed, he has blasted the DVLA and said their decision has left him "depressed" and out-of-pocket after having to stump up regularly for taxis. He told the Mail: "How can they disregard a hospital doctor and another optician? It has left me very depressed. Advertisement "I travel a lot and I need to drive. Not long distance, for that I take the train. "It is costing me a fortune in taxis. It is very unfair. I'm absolutely infuriated with their 'computer says no' attitude." EXCL I was paid £50,000 to do I'm A Celeb - what ITV is giving stars now is ludicrous, says Christopher Biggins It comes after the Labour government revealed their plans for drivers over the age of 70 to undergo mandatory eye tests every three years in order to prove they have sufficient eyesight to be on the roads. Further driving proposals also include reducing the drink-drive limit and tougher penalties on uninsured drivers and those who fail to wear a seatbelt. They will belong to a new road safety strategy that the government plans to publish this autumn. Advertisement The change would mark the biggest shake-up of driving rules for nearly two decades, since the Road Safety Act introduced under Tony Blair in 2006. In response, a spokesperson for the DVLA told the Mail of Biggins' case: "While we cannot comment on individual cases, all drivers must meet minimum eyesight standards to drive a vehicle. "Whether a driver meets the eyesight standards can be tested through various means, including visual field and acuity, depending on the circumstances. "These standards apply to all drivers and, if someone does not meet the required standards they cannot be allowed on the road." 3 The decision has left the star 'depressed' Credit: Getty
