‘I got up to a lot’: William recalls selling CDs as boy at ‘dodgy car boot sale’
The prince said flooding is happening more often as he heard from residents whose home has been hit by four major floods in six years.
- Prince William visited the Welsh village of Skenfrith in Monmouthshire to inspect flood defenses and discuss the impact of recent extreme weather on local communities.
- Skenfrith has endured four major floods in six years, with the River Monnow overflowing following Storm Claudia, which delivered a month's rainfall within 24 hours.
- Residents Rod and Helen Wyatt sparked nostalgia when the Prince reminisced about a childhood job selling CDs at what he described as a "dodgy car boot sale."
- William expressed sympathy for residents facing constant flood threats, noting that extreme weather events previously classified as "one in 50-year" occurrences now appear to happen annually.
- At White Castle Farm in Abergavenny, the Prince explored a "holistic" approach to flood mitigation, including agricultural landscape management and tree planting to reduce future risks.
