The prince was at the Gear Farm Pasty Company in Helston learning about making the much-loved local delicacy when he took the call from Josie Trounson.

Ms Trounson had telephoned to order 10 frozen pasties and five fresh pasties, which she would collect later.

She was unaware she was speaking to the heir to the throne as she placed her order – much to the amusement of onlookers listening to the conversation inside the bakery.

William told her: “Do you want me to take an order from you? 10 frozen pasties, and we have got plenty of cooked ones, just made some fresh ones now.

“What name is that? Juicy? Josie! Sorry Josie, I thought you said Juicy.

“The pasties will be juicy. 15 pasties for Josie for 1.45pm.

“Five fresh good ones and 10 frozen. Bye bye Josie.”

Ms Trounson, who lives a 20-minute drive from the farm, did not find out it was William who had taken her order until she arrived to collect her pasties – half an hour after he had left to meet fire-and-rescue staff at Helston community fire station.

“I was flabbergasted when I found out,” Ms Trounson said after collecting her order.

“I had no idea who was answering my call but the person on the line was a bit incoherent.

“It’s St Piran’s Day and I was really worried I wasn’t going to get my pasties.”

Gear Farm Pasty Company in St Martin is an award-winning business known for its traditional Cornish pasties, and its farm has been certified organic for over 30 years.
