Prince William gets a taste of Cornwall at show
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Edinburgh got the chance to sample some of the produce on offer at the Royal Cornwall Show during a visit. The royal duo headed to the event at the Royal Cornwall Showground in Wadebridge on Friday to take a tour of the site and speak to visitors and groups taking part in the show. During their visit, Prince William and his aunt went inside the Food and Farming Pavilion and tried some of the items being showcased, including Cornish Ratler cider, as large crowds followed the pair around. The Royals then ventured off to separate parts of the show, which started on Thursday and runs until Saturday. Among the items the royals tried included cider and gin made in Cornwall along with pasties and preserves. After leaving the food and drink area, the Duchess of Edinburgh was shown around some of the cattle, pig and sheep on show and received a bouquet of flowers from a young girl. She also stopped to take selfies with punters around the showgrounds and spoke to organisations including the Girl Guides who had stalls at the event.
