Prince William goes sporty in a business casual look at the royal engagement on the beach in Cornwall

Prince William visited Fistral and Nansledan beach in Cornwall on Thursday. The Prince of Wales took time to view the Duchy of Cornwall site of an upcoming project and spoke to volunteers and played a game of volleyball on Fistral Beach.

For his royal engagement, Prince William opted for business casual attire. The royals wore a dark blend woven sports coat with a check pattern with a matching light blue button down shirt. The Prince of Wales teamed the look with navy trousers and a silver buckle belt.

On arrival at Fistral Beach, Prince William went for a more relaxed business casual look. The member of the British royal family decided to ditch the sports coat and roll up his shirt sleeves to walk on the sand. Later, Prince William played a game of beach volleyball with the children who were present during his visit.

The Prince of Wales’ visit to Fistral Beach was an official royal engagement to meet representatives of local organizations working to promote safety in the sea and across the beach ahead of the busy summer months. Along with his visit to Fistral Beach, Prince William’s time in Nansledan involved a project the royal has been working on.

Nansledan is the site of the Duchy of Cornwall’s first innovative housing project to help tackle homelessness. The project is to be delivered in conjunction with the Cornish St charity. Petrocs. The effort will provide 24 fully supported homes for local people experiencing homelessness.

Throughout 2024, Prince William has kept up a string of royal appearances. Last February, the Prince of Wales attended the BAFTA Awards in a blue velvet blazer. In addition to royal duties, Prince William has also been looking after his family, with son Prince Louis turning six in April and daughter Princess Charlotte celebrating her ninth birthday on May 2. Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton, has undergone treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
