Amidst the royal flurry, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touch down in Nigeria for a whirlwind 72-hour tour.
In his maiden official visit, Prince William sparks chatter by acknowledging his family's reservations, particularly those of Kate Middleton.
As the future King steps into his role post-Duchy of Cornwall inheritance, he indulges in a local pasty upon reaching the Scilly Isles, as per reports by Mirror.
Local residents, recognizing him as the Duke of Cornwall, witness his arrival on St. Mary's via a boat journey from Tresco, a smaller isle within the archipelago. Cheers erupt from the onlookers as he disembarks from The Pegasus, proudly displaying the Duke of Cornwall flag.
Acknowledging the splendid weather, Prince William strolls leisurely to the On the Quay café, where he indulges in purchasing five traditional pasties.
Curiously, he inquires, "What's the hot seller this morning?" Upon learning it's the pasties, he remarks, "They're tantalizingly fragrant. Truly appetizing." Furthermore, he shares his morning swim experience in the sea.
Engaging with tourists outside, he jests about his family's dismay at his solo presence, quipping, "My absence seems to be stirring quite the commotion at home. The kids might stage a revolt if I prolong my stay here."
Bantering with those waiting, he teases, "Are you here for a boat ride or just to catch a glimpse of me?" to which a woman responds, "We're waiting for you!" William, in good humor, chuckles, "I'm never quite sure about that!"
On another note, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embark on a brief 72-hour tour of Nigeria, highlighting visits to the country's military base and advocacy for the Invictus Games.
