Duke & Duchess

One of my first community engagements was to be part of a welcoming party for the visit of HRH Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall to St Mawes.



Camilla had been invited to name the new St Mawes Ferry. They arrived the night before and stayed at the Trasnton Hotel in the village. In the morning they walked along to the quay, stopping to chat to people. They visited the Post Office, the Bakery and the Fishmongers and they were greeted by the school children who sang a pirate sone to them.



We were introduced and Prince Charles asked how we were settling in. They were very relaxed and easy to talk to. After naming the ferry they set off to Falmouth.
