The Prince of Wales kicked off his visit to the Royal Cornwall Show on Friday, June 6, with his aunt, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, by sampling some food and drinks from local artisans. In a hilarious moment captured in the Royal Cornwall Food and Farming Pavilion, Sophie, 60, and William, 42, enjoyed a taste of gin.
In a video posted to X, William could be heard joking, "I can see what today's going to be like," as he picked up his cup of gin. After the two had both tried the drink and Sophie began to taste more, William quipped, "You're not allowed to finish it. You've got to watch her."
Sophie had the perfect reply, responding, "He's learnt from the best."
As for William, he admitted, "I've been caught out with whisky a few too many times," adding, "I think I can do that, and then oh no, I couldn't."
Mike Tindall, who is married to William's cousin, Zara Tindall, revealed William's boozy nickname in 2023, when he shared: "The Prince of Wales is known to me as 'One Pint Willy' because he's not the best of drinkers, coming from a sport where it is built on the social aspect and a couple of beers being sunk quite often."
'That is one I will definitely give away for the Prince of Wales. One Pint Willy. It's out there now, sorry sir," said the former rugby player.
The Prince was clearly taken aback when he sampled the gin at the show on Friday. In a photo taken right after he sampled the beverage, he widened his eyes and put his hand on his chest in surprise as Sophie looked on with a smile.
The royals also enjoyed a taste of Cornish cider, stopping by the Healeys Cyder stand, where they sipped on Rattlers, per Hello!.
When William spotted the label "zero" on a bottle of cider and was told the beverage was non-alcoholic, he joked, "Oh no, no, no. I need original," per Hello!. "Someone bring out the big guns."

After visiting the Royal Cornwall Food and Farming Pavilion together, William and Sophie split for the rest of the event. He checked out the Duchy of Cornwall hub highlighting mental health, where he met with representatives from local charities and organizations, while she visited LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) and the Girl Guides, both organizations that she supports as patron.
The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association organized the annual show. The Prince of Wales is patron of the association, and his aunt Sophie is the vice president. The pair don't often make formal appearances together; Prince William often attends engagements with his wife, Kate Middleton, while Sophie goes to most events with her husband, Prince Edward.
