Kate and Prince William were all smiles as they arrived in the harbour town of Falmouth today. This marks the first time the pair visited together the county as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.
The Prince inherited the title from his King Charles following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
During their day of engagement in Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess learned more about the local maritime heritage, something very close to Prince William’s heart.
The Prince is a keen conservationist and has been patron of several initiative and organisation focused on protecting the environment and its species.
In October 2020, he also launched the Earthshot Prize, a decade-long initiative awarding five £1million to each of the five winners picked by a council every year.
The day in Cornwall also included a visit to a community centre.
Prior to the royals’ arrival, a spokeswoman for the couple said: “The Duke and Duchess will learn about Cornwall’s maritime heritage before visiting a local community centre which is going the extra mile to give opportunities to individuals while building a supportive and cohesive community.”
While this is the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall’s first joint visit, Prince William had headed to the region in November.
During his first visit as Duke of Cornwall, he met staff, volunteers and young people at Newquay Orchard, which offers environmental education, employability training and community events.
