A Royal Appointment

In this special 25th anniversary edition of Countryfile, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is guest editor. The stories and locations featured reflect many rural issues that are close to his heart. Whether it's the plight of struggling hill farmers, apprenticeship schemes to encourage young people into farming, or innovative schemes to get school kids growing their own food, the Prince shares his passion for the countryside and the people in it. The Countryfile team learn too of his love of hedgelaying, of farming, and of walking in the country, as we spend time privately with the Prince on his Highgrove Estate in Gloucestershire.
