Prince William, who is also the Duke of Cornwall, a county hit hard by devastating Storm Goretti – considered the worst in decades – visited there to show support to the recovering community while celebrating St Piran's Day.

In the town, the Prince of Wales visited Gear Farm Pasty Company in Helston, an award-winning business known for its Cornish pasties.

It was run by Dave and Ann Webb family, and during the worst storm, the bakery kept its doors open for residents.

In a heartwarming manner, William made pasties in the bakery, exchanging glances with the workers and customers.

While folding one pastry, he said, “Oh my goodness, there’s a lot more going into this than I thought."

“I feel I may be taking this one home, guys. Everyone loves a trier," he said, adding, “I appreciate the comments, but this is not my finest hour.

William takes orders at the bakery which turns funny

While in the kitchen, making pastries, William had a wholesome moment while taking an order on the phone.

In a clip going viral on social media, the heir asked the caller's name, but a miscommunication turned the order-taking into laughter.

"And what name is that? "Juicy? Josie?" the 43-year-old asked, prompted nearby to laugh. "Sorry, Josie, I thought you said 'Juicy'; I apologise."
