Outside
the cricket club where Prince William is expected, a small crowd has gathered in the spring sunshine. Many of those
here are local residents curious to see a royal visit.

“I’m here to pass on regards and best wishes,” says one; another says: “I
just want to support his first engagement” since the statement by the Princess
of Wales.

From a third spectator comes appreciation of the prince’s work: “It’s a great thing he’s doing.”
