Stunned volunteers only found out about the visit an hour before William and Kate's arrival but were later put at ease by the"down to earth" royal pair, saying William was"neat" with packing and cracked"natural" jokes as he helped.The Prince and Princess of Wales have shocked volunteers, by making a surprise visit to a Windsor food bank.
Chief executive Sarah Kember greeted the pair as they arrived at the Dedworth Green Baptist Church, later speaking to them about the work of the food bank with the scheme's founder Sarah Howard and chairman of Windsor Christian Action Geoff Hudson. Kate asked how many food banks were in the area during the brief meeting, as well as enquiring about whether the produce is fresh, and if some people struggle with the stigma sometimes associated with asking for help.The couple then went on a tour of the area, and helped a team to prepare nearly 100 food vouchers, before going on to pack deliveries and help check the food was in date.William joked with the volunteers, at one point saying they should stop chatting and pick up the pace.
Emma Pilbrow added:"They were very natural and down to earth. I felt they wanted to be here, and they showed a lot of interest. "They asked where the food comes from and what happens to any vegetables that were left over. I also joked with them about knobbly vegetables."
