Prince William shares cheeky warning from son George as he meets Clarkson’s Farm’s Kaleb in show of support for farmers
PRINCE William shared a cheeky warning from his son George as he met with Clarkson’s Farm icon Kaleb Cooper.
The Prince of Wales, 42, laughed with TV star Kaleb as he arrived to Folly Farm, in Pensford, Somerset, as a show of support to Britain’s young farmers today.
Wills joked his son Prince George, 11, had told him to tell Kaleb to watch his language, as reported by Sky.
Kaleb, and farming consultant Charlie Ireland, helped former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson run his Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.
The pair have passionately protested about Labour’s changes to the agricultural inheritance tax in the past .
Wills’ visit today came as he revealed his new role as patron of We Are Farming Minds.
The Duchy of Cornwall-supported charity aims to help farmers struggling with feelings of isolation and mental health.
William greeted its founders, Duchy tenants Sam and Emily Stables, who started the organisation in 2020 after Sam tried to take his own life.
The Prince and Princess of Wales first met the pair in 2023.
Wills, who is landlord to Duchy farming tenants, met with 60 of the landed estate’s next generation today.
He delivered an inspirational speech at the Next Generation Duchy Event.
His new patronage builds on the Duchy’s rural mental health strategy, launched in 2023.
It aims to make the Duchy the leading provider of mental health support to all its tenants.
The charity offers a 24-hour support line as well as funding for professional counselling.
Speaking last year about the organisation, the Prince wrote on his Instagram: “A conversation for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek showing just how important the Duchy of Cornwall’s Mental Health Strategy is.
“Sam and Will’s honest chat about farmers’ experiences with mental health highlights the positive outcomes that can be achieved with the right support, whatever form that might take.
“A farmer or not, we hope that you’ll be able to take something from this film, Sam’s incredible story and his conversation with @farmer_will_
“@wearefarmingminds is being supported by the Duchy Mental Health Strategy to expand, helping more people in rural communities to access the support they need.”
