On the busiest Cornish pasty day of the year, Prince William took a large order to help out staff at Gear Farm Pasty Company. The Duke of Cornwall spent St Piran's Day—the feast day of Cornwall's patron saint—in Cornwall to celebrate the national holiday and meet with communities impacted by Storm Goretti, one of the strongest storms to hit the Cornish region in 30 years.
The UK’s Meteorological Office reported that Storm Goretti was "one of the most impactful storms to hit Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in the last 30 to 35 years.” In the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago off the Cornish coast, wind gusts reached 99mph during the devastating storm. Many communities were without power or water for five days following the January 8th weather phenomenon.
