Tetbury is world-renowned for its unique Royal associations. Highgrove, home of HRH The Prince of Wales is situated just outside Tetbury, and Gatcombe Park, home of the Princess Royal is also nearby. Neighbouring Chalford houses the impressive Nether Lypiatt House, until recently the residence of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

Duchy Home Farm

Just outside Tetbury lies Duchy Home Farm, established by Prince Charles to promote the wider adoption of organic farming and food production methods. This farm is a key supplier for many Duchy Originals products. In addition to the organic grain used for biscuits, the farm is the source of pork for the delicatessen ham, sausages and bacon as well as barley for ale, root vegetables for crisps and chutneys, mustard seed for wholegrain mustard, and milk from the herd of Ayrshire cattle.

The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall returned to Tottenham on 9 February, seeing the progress that has been made to regenerate the area six months after it was affected by the London riots. Visiting in August last year, The Prince was keen that his charities continue to work in Tottenham and today Their Royal Highnesses saw first-hand the regeneration projects taking place. Their Royal Highnesses began their visit at the site of the new Post Office after it was previously destroyed during the riots, meeting representatives from Haringey Council and MP David Lammy to talk about how the area is recovering with the help of the borough and The Prince's Charities. Visiting the Pride of Tottenham Pub, The Prince and Duchess met Kay Horne, from Sainsbury's who is currently on secondment as a "business connector" to Business in the Community, with particular responsibility for the Tottenham area. Kay has been working with local organisations, businesses and Tottenham residents to regenerate the area's High Road after it was badly hit by the riots. Their Royal Highnesses heard how Kay has helped businesses in the area access money from the High Street Fund, set up by Sir William Castell. During the visit, Their Royal Highnesses met traders, and shopkeepers who had been affected, hearing about their personal experiences during and after the riots.

The cornerstone of St Giles Trust's work is to train serving prisoners and ex-offenders as advice workers able to provide highly credible services, using the benefit of their own first-hand experiences. Over one third of the workforce at St Giles Trust today are reformed ex-offenders. The Duke's Patronage highlights his interest in affording people of all ages and stages of their lives - and especially those who feel disengaged or excluded from society - the opportunity to develop a sense of purpose and realise their true potential.
