Prince William continues week of solo engagements in Cornwall after sending powerful message

William became the Duke of Cornwall in 2022 when King Charles ascended the throne and inherited the estate worth over £1 billion.

The Stoke Climsland college is part of a 23-farm group cluster on land originally leased from the Duchy of Cornwall.

William will learn about how the college is providing opportunities for young people in rural areas during his visit and work with a group of 23 farms to create environmental change.

The busy prince travelled from London, where he vowed to end homelessness in a speech at last night's Centrepoint awards.

He praised "inspirational" young people who have transformed their lives after overcoming homelessness during a speech.

This week, the Prince of Wales also announced that his ITV documentary on ending homelessness will be released at the end of the month.

In a clip from the two-part documentary, Prince William said: "I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to helppeople who are in need.

"I see that as part of my role, why else would I be here if I'm not using this role properly to influence and help people where I can."

Prince William was met with light showers as he was welcomed by campus staff, unlike his brother Prince Harry, who showcased his impressive surfing skills in a video filmed at Kelly Slater's 'Surf Ranch' in central California in the sun,

He took part in a CSI training exercise conducted by students enrolled in the Military & Protective Services Academy at the college.

The prince also heard from students who are part of the Future Farm programme at a visit to a student-run café on campus.

The college offers land-based degrees in Southwest England in a range of areas, including equine science, agriculture, and horticulture.

The Duchy has been a long-standing advocate for the college, with the Land Steward team participating in the assessment of Year 2 Agriculture students, where the students run a mock farm tender exercise at a Duchy farm.

William began his packed week by attending a community event hosted by the NFL Foundation UK, showcasing the organisation's efforts to support young people in deprived areas.
