Prince William was praised by a charity’s founder for being a “genuine and decent” person, following his latest visit to a family farm in Herefordshire.
The Prince of Wales pruned apple trees and was mobbed by hungry sheep as he got stuck into farm chores after meeting farmers John and Laura Bowler to highlight the importance of mental health support in the farming community on Thursday.
The heir has been the patron of Herefordshire-based charity We Are Farming Minds, which was established to support farmers and promote good mental health, since March 2025.
After warming up in the barn with a mug of hot local cider and discussing the issues Mr and Mrs Bowler have faced running their 190-acre family farm, the pair took William to the orchard, where he had a go at pruning and cutting back apple trees.
He also toured the farm's growing Christmas trees and jumped into the sheep pen to feed the animals before meeting Mr Bowler's grandmother Betty, to wish her a happy birthday for her upcoming 92nd milestone.
