On Wednesday, the office of the Prince and Princess of Wales released a video of William visiting Folly Farm and meeting some of the Duchy of Cornwall’s young farmers.
“Such an enjoyable afternoon with the next generation of Duchy farming tenants, as they look ahead to their future as young farmers,” the message read alongside the video. “Thanks to @cooper_kaleb and @runcheerfulcharlie for joining us, and also to @vicknhope and @wearefarmingminds for the great discussion on mental health in the farming industry.”
William inherited the Duchy of Cornwall after his father ascended to the throne in September 2022. Meanwhile, Charles himself took over the Duchy of Lancaster.
