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 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.

After spending time with the people at the Harbor, the prince headed to St. Mary's Hospital to hear about plans for a new integrated health and social care facility, which is set to be built on land owned by the Duchy. The proposed facility will add 12 residential care home beds, as well as a modern maternity suite to better serve the island communities that rely on the hospital for care.

During his visit, William met with representatives from the local council who are helping make the expansion a reality. He also made time to talk with the hospital's staff.

As the Prince of Wales was touring Cornwell, his brother Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived in Nigeria for their first visit to the West African country.
