"Flabbergasted" Cornwall Woman Says Prince William Was "A Bit Incoherent" During Hilarious Phone Mix-Up

Prince William answering a phone and laughing.

Prince William gave one local woman a story she'll be telling “for years” after a phone call gone wrong at a pasty shop in Cornwall, England on March 5. After hilariously mixing up a customer’s name and calling her “Juicy” instead of “Josie,” the prince headed off to another event—and Josie later told reporters she “had no idea” she'd been speaking to the future King.

The Prince of Wales, who was visiting the area on St. Piran's Day, the feast day of Cornwall's patron saint, was helping work the phones at Gear Farm Pasty Company when the mix-up occurred. The business makes traditional Cornish pasties, a savory handheld pie filled with beef, potato, turnips and onions, and St. Piran’s Day is the busiest day of the year for the business.
