Prince William visits the Isles of Scilly

Prince William has visited the Isles of Scilly for the first time since becoming the Duke of Cornwall.

The prince stopped by businesses and organisations that use the harbour on St Mary's.

He also paid a visit to St Mary's Community Hospital where he was asked by administrator Tracy Smith how his wife Catherine was.

The prince said she was "doing well" following her cancer diagnosis.

Prince William met staff and patients at the islands' hospital

He met patients and staff after breaking the ground at the site of the new integrated health and social care facility.

The Duchy of Cornwall is working with the Council of the Isles of Scilly to build the new centre.

While at the harbour, he met some of the island's schoolchildren and treated his entourage to a round of Cornish pasties.

Rupert, one of the pupils, asked the prince what his favourite colour was, to which he replied blue.

He then visited On The Quay café where staff had baked a bigger batch of pasties in anticipation of the prince's visit.

Asked by staff Joely Dearman, 22, and Zachariah Fox, 28, what type of pasty he wanted, the prince replied "traditional", and asked for five.

Everyone in the cafe laughed, before the prince added: "They’re not all for me."

He told them: "I can’t believe the islands today when you’ve got weather like this, it’s just beautiful.

"I got in the sea yesterday which was good."

The visit to the Isles of Scilly comes after his visit to Newquay on Thursday where he saw the site of the Duchy's first homelessness project before going to Fistral beach.
