Palace releases new video featuring Prince William, Duchess Sophie

Britain's Prince William on Friday made a rare joint appearance with his aunt, Duchess Sophie, at  the Royal Cornwall Show.

A statement issued by the Prince of Wales said he was "Delighted to attend the Royal Cornwall Show today with The Duchess of Edinburgh. The show is a proud celebration of Cornish heritage, innovation and farming. Honoured to present The Duchy of Cornwall Award and meet those driving sustainable agriculture across the region."

The Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales released multiple pictures of the royal duo along with Prince  William's message after their joint royal engagement.

Hours later, a separate video focusing on William's activities was shared on the royal family's social media accounts with a statement from the future king.

The eldest son of King Charles said, "Proud to be Patron of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association and see firsthand the amazing work that goes into making the show an incredible celebration of Cornish tradition and heritage. Well done to everyone involved!  "

Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton, did not accompany  her husband to the event  as she reportedly chose to stay with the couple's children.

The Princess of Wales is making a gradual return to royal duties since completing her chemotherapy in August last year.

She was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer  in 2024 just when  King Charles had announced that he was receiving treatment for cancer.
