The Prince of Wales visited Cornwall post-storm, praised recovery efforts, and planted a tree amid ongoing recovery from Storm Goretti.

The Prince of Wales, visiting Cornwall on St Piran’s Day, tried making a Cornish pasty at the Gear Farm Pasty Company in Helston, joking about his effort and calling the result "a slightly ill crab." His visit followed Storm Goretti, which caused widespread damage in January, including power outages affecting 50,000 homes, blocked roads, and one death. The Webb family, who run the bakery, continued operations using a newly installed generator, supporting the community during the crisis. William met staff, volunteers, and residents involved in recovery efforts, praised their resilience, and planted a tree to mark the occasion, highlighting community strength and support for local businesses.
