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

The prince manages the Duchy of Cornwall, a portfolio of lands, properties and investments valued at more than £1 billion, which provide an income for the heir to the throne. During the visit, William asked a group of teenagers: “What is it like there?” Looks good for a few waves. He also met members of the RNLI who patrol the beach and lifeguards on duty at the lifeboat station.

Prince Harry urges children to ‘eliminate’ mental health stigma during Nigeria trip
Prince Harry urged children to “get rid of” the stigma around mental health as he was accompanied by his wife Meghan on a visit to a school in Nigeria. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex began their three-day trip on Friday May 10, arriving in the West African country at the invitation of the Chief of Defense Staff. Earlier this week, Harry made a brief return to the UK where he celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games – but did not see King Charles. Harry and Meghan are in Nigeria on a whirlwind tour to promote the games in Africa – and are expected to meet injured service members and attend sporting events and a gala evening after their school visit.

How Harry and Charles were twenty minutes away – but remain miles apart
The distance between St Paul’s Cathedral, where Harry held a ceremony for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, and Buckingham Palace, where Charles held a spring garden party, is just over two miles – or around £14 in an Uber – and yet serviced. to highlight how far apart the two pairs still remain.

ICYMI: Harry and Meghan dance with schoolchildren
Harry and Meghan danced with the schoolchildren, jumping and twirling, before their interaction with the children.
The Duke of Sussex could be seen encouraging the Dutch girl to spin as she laughed and placed her hand on Harry’s shoulder.
They then spoke to the children about mental health, telling them there was “no shame” in feeling bad.
“There’s no shame in admitting that today is a bad day, okay?,” Harry said.
“That you woke up this morning feeling sad; that you were at school and feeling stressed; that you have lost a loved one in your family and you do not know where to turn or who to talk to,” added the Duke of Sussex.
He urged students to talk about their mental health issues.
“The more you talk about it, the more you can get rid of the stigma and fall into the long grass, and then everyone will have the opportunity to share how they’re feeling, how they’re coping, and then you can help other people,” Harry said.
“So if you take anything away from today, just know that mental health affects every person,” he added.
