A Pint Fit for a Prince: Prince William Enjoys Rattler at the Royal Cornwall Show

The Duke of Wales surprised locals and visitors alike at this year's Royal Cornwall Show by enjoying a pint of Cornwall's iconic Rattler cyder. His relaxed appearance and clear appreciation for the local favourite have made headlines and further endeared him to the Cornish crowd. 

In a moment that delighted royal watchers and cider fans alike, Prince William was spotted earlier this month savouring a pint of Rattler cider during a visit to the Royal Cornwall Show. The future King mingled with exhibitors, farmers and families, taking time to explore the region's celebrated produce — but it was his choice of beverage that really stole the spotlight.

Opting for a crisp pint of Rattler, made by the iconic Healeys Cyder Farm, the Prince's gesture was more than a photo op — it was a genuine nod to Cornwall's rich food and drink culture. His relaxed, down-to-earth presence charmed the crowd, and the unexpected cider moment has since sparked national media attention and local pride.
