Prince William Visits Hospital on Isles of Scilly as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Arrive in Nigeria

The Prince of Wales’ two-day tour of Cornwall continued on Friday, May 10

Prince William’s visit to Cornwall continued on Friday, May 10 with a stop at St. Mary’s Harbor on the Isles of Scilly and a tour of a new community hospital.

The Prince of Wales, 41, inherited the $1 billion Duchy of Cornwall estate, as well as the title of Duke of Cornwall, following Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022.

The Duchy of Cornwall is a large estate owned by the prince, which funds his family, as well as provides money to his charitable endeavors.

William kicked off his two-day visit on May 9 when he stopped by Nansledan to see the site of his housing project, which is designed to help people experiencing homelessness. From there, he headed to Fistral Beach, where he learned about water safety ahead of the summer season.
On Friday, William journeyed to the Isles of Scilly to spend time with the people who live and work around St. Mary’s Harbor. The Harbor is a central hub of industry and tourism for the area, and the prince took time to speak with locals and business owners as they prepare for an influx of tourists — the islands see around 100,000 visitors every year — in the coming months.
