FOLLOWING IN HIS FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS THE PRINCE OF WALES VISITS SITES IN HIS DUCHY OF CORNWALL AS HE UNVEILS PLANS TO EXPAND CONSERVATION WORK

He became Duke of Cornwall on the King's accession to the throne last year, taking over stewardship of the vast 202-square-mile estate.

And last week Prince William proved he is continuing his father's work, by unveiling a new environmental project and opening a restaurant that His Majesty had a hand in designing.

The Prince visited the Duchy of Cornwall's nursery near Lostwithiel in the heart of Cornwall, where he met staff and visitors in the glasshouse and the bumblebee garden an area of beefriendly flowers.

He then officially opened new restaurant The Orangery - enlisting some help to cut the ribbon from twins James and Violet Scott, from Edinburgh. The nine-year-olds were on holiday with parents Alan, 53, and Glenda, 51, and had been asked to take part just moments earlier. They chatted to the heir to the throne about their love of visiting the beach.
