The Duke caught the 9.44am train from London to his namesake city for the first day of a 10-week course in agricultural management.
While it’s not common for royalty to take public transport, commuters can expect to see a lot of William in the next few months – he is expected to make the 46-minute rail journey every weekday for the duration of his study program.
The course has been specially designed for William to prepare him for taking over his father’s Duchy of Cornwall.
He will study alongside PhD students and learn rural and planning policy, farming and supply chains, site management, agricultural policy and conservation governance.
The cost of the course is being covered by the royal family’s personal funds.
