The Prince of Wales joked with a customer as he took her order for Cornish pasties on a visit to Helston on Thursday (5 March).

Prince William manned the phone at the Gear Farm Pasty Company as he learned about the much-loved local delicacy.

The royal took an order over the phone from Josie Trounson, sharing a joke with her when he misheard her name.

Ms Trounson was unaware she was speaking to Prince William on the phone.

“What name is that? Juicy? Josie! Sorry Josie, I thought you said Juicy,” William said as a crowd around him laughed.

“The pasties will be juicy alright,” he added.
