Prince William was busy in the kitchen at his latest royal engagement and couldn't stop laughing as he coordinated a phone order at a bakery.
On March 5, the Prince of Wales (or Duke of Cornwall, as he's called in the area) visited Cornwall on St. Piran's Day, the county's national day, and hopped in to help at Gear Farm Pasty Company, a family-run farm and bakery that pushed to stay open during the severe Storm Goretti.
As seen in a video shared on X by Rebecca English of the Daily Mail, Prince William helped by picking up the phone and taking an order. However, there was a miscommunication when the heir asked for a name on the order.
"And what name is that? Juicy? Josie," the royal, 43, said to the caller, which made everyone laugh. "Sorry, Josie, I thought you said 'Juicy,' I apologize."

Prince William stifled laughter as he continued chatting with the customer, promising that the "pasties will be juicy" — which sent those around him into another fit of giggles — and that they would be ready for 1:45 p.m.
"Five fresh ones and ten frozen," he confirmed to the customer and said farewell with a smile and more laughter.
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. Cornwall was hit hard during the intense Storm Goretti in January, but Gear Farm stayed open with backup from a generator, baking and supporting residents who lost essential services for several days.

Prince William met members of the Webb family and local people who pitched in to respond to the disaster, in which about 50,000 homes lost power, and toured the bakery to see production, meet staff and participate in pasty-making.
The Prince of Wales — who sported a Cornish flag pin for the away day — even tried his hand at serving customers and smiled for a selfie there.

Prince William's phone order fun called back to a similar scene at a royal outing in 2023 with his wife, Kate Middleton.
That April, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited the family-run restaurant The Indian Streatery in Birmingham during a trip to celebrate the city's diverse culture and heritage, where they tried making roti and William took a phone order.

The heir to the throne took a call to help a customer reserve a table for two, with hilarious results as he attempted to share directions.
"Hope we told this customer to come to the right place…!" Kensington Palace joked on X, sharing a snap of Prince William holding the phone to his chest as Princess Kate hysterically laughed.
