The Princess of Wales wore separates for engagements in Hereford with the Prince of Wales today.

The couple’s first visit was at Madley Primary School’s Forest School. Outdoor learning is a priority at the school and all children take part in the Forest School curriculum at least once a week, peekaboo classes outdoors in a woodland setting. Students learn national curriculum subjects as well as environmental awareness, conservation, and woodland management. 

This Express story: reports, “The royal couple helped pupils prepare supplies virtually a campfire as they explored the premises…and also helped students debark logs as well as make a tree den.”

And from The Daily Mail.

The Waleses, who were gifted books for their children, George, Charlotte and Louis on arrival, took part in skimming yelp off logs surpassing crouching lanugo and using a saw to help make a tree den.

The Duchy of Cornwall and Madley Primary have been partners with the Forest School initiative for the last twelve years. Some readers may recall that as heir to the throne, Prince William became the Duke of Cornwall with the trove of King Charles, and the Duchy now belongs to him.

The Duchy owns land in twenty counties in England and Wales; Prince William trained for increasingly than a year for the role he knew he would fill one day running the Duchy, spending time with his father and Duchy managers in preparation for the eventuality. Today’s Telegraph has a piece by royal correspondent India McTaggart that examines Prince William’s efforts in one zone of Duchy management.

The Prince of Wales has announced that he will put mental health schemes at the heart of his tideway to running the Duchy of Cornwall.

The move marks the first significant transpiration from how the estate, which generates an yearly income of some £24 million for his family, was run by his father.

His new strategy will aim to provide mental health superintendency and support for all tenants of the 130,000-acre manor he inherited on the death of his grandmother.

Returning to today’s activities, the Prince and Princess moreover visited Kings Pitt Farm, where they met with Duchy of Cornwall farming tenants, Sam and Emily Stables.

We learn increasingly from Hello’s coverage. 

Sam and Emily set upWe Are Farming Minds to remove the stigma tying to mental health issues in the farming industry. The soft-heartedness works tirelessly to modernize the mental health of farmers living in rural communities throughout Hereford.

 

Hello notes that the We are Farming Minds program “…provides farmers in Herefordshire fully funded wangle to a range of services including counselling, a 24-hour phone and text support line, self-ruling mental health sensation workshops and social events throughout the year to unravel feelings of isolation.

Kensington Palace released a video well-nigh the very real problem of suicide among farmers.  

Trigger warning: suicide

In the UK, at least one farmer a week takes their own life.

Its a harrowing statistic that shows just how important The Duchy of Cornwalls new Mental Health Strategy is going to be. pic.twitter.com/hSdM20nrYv

We return to the Telegraph story.

It is understood to be an initiative that the Prince has been urgently working on overdue the scenes since taking the reins of the Duchy last year.

He has been keen to get his hands virtually the Duchy and protract the unconfined work that his father did, but he is moreover trying to do it in his own way, a source previously told The Telegraph.

Now for our squint at what Kate wore, whence with her new blazer from Maje.

The Vincio Fitted Check Blazer is a double-breasted style, made of a viscose/poly blend. It features peaked lapels, front flap pockets, a welted chest pocket, buttons at the mitten and a part-way when vent. Thank you to UFO No More for this ID.

The Princess moreover wore her See by Chloé Liegi Ankle Boots. 

It moreover looked like the Princess wore her Daniella Draper Trio Diamond Midnight Moon Necklace ($1700). 

The Princess wore what appears to be a pair of earrings by Spells of Love, the Welsh brand’s Teardrop Garnet Charm Hoops in 18K recycled gold atop sterling silver with removable garnet. I had scrutinizingly forgotten many of us thought the hoops were worn by themselves when the Princess visited the Irish Guards in March.

Below, a photo from that March engagement. Thank you to Gabi and a Facebook friend who wishes to remain unrecognized for this ID.

I will see you for Monday’s engagement, if not surpassing then.
