Prince William’s visit to Duchy College Stoke Climsland included a stop at a cozy English inn.
On Oct. 17, the Prince of Wales' team posted a new photo of him along with a little background about the unannounced outing.
“Prince William popped into The Warren House Inn earlier, on beautiful Dartmoor. Legend has it the pub fire has been alight since it was built in 1845!” his team wrote onXwith a flames emoji.
The shot showed Prince William, 42, standing and smiling before a glowing fireplace. Chalk menus behind him advertised the soup of the day (sweet potato and chili) and invited guests to “Try a glass of scrumpy” or take a bottle of the cider home.
