Prince William joins a game of volleyball with children on a Cornwall beach

The Prince of Wales joined children on Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall, for an impromptu game of volleyball on Thursday 9 May.

Prince William, who is also the Duke of Cornwall, met teenagers from a local lifeguard club at one of Britain’s most popular beaches.

The prince runs the Duchy of Cornwall, a portfolio of land, property and investments valued at more than £1bn, which provides an income for the heir to the throne.

During the visit, William asked a group of teenagers: “What’s it like out there? Looks good for a few waves.”

He also met members of the RNLI patrolling the beach and lifeguards on duty at the lifeboat station.
