Prince William to visit Royal Cornwall Show

The Prince of Wales is due to visit the Royal Cornwall Show on Friday.

The Royal Diary said Prince William would attend the event at the Royal Cornwall Events Centre in Wadebridge on Friday with his aunt Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.

Prince William, who is the Duke of Cornwall, is a patron of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association (RCAA), the charity which organises the three-day show, which begins on Thursday.

The Duchess of Edinburgh is the RCAA's vice-president and a patron of the Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations.

Royals have previously visited the annual show with the then Prince Charles and and Duchess of Cornwall attending the 2022 event - the first to be held after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Boris Johnson, who was prime minister at the time, also visited the show that year.

The Duchess of Edinburgh previously visited the event in 2014 when she was the Countess of Wessex.

This year's show will be open from 08:30 BST until 18:30 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
