The Prince of Wales has been in Surrey today on his first official engagement since his wife, Kate, revealed her cancer diagnosis.

He's visited a food redistribution charity called Surplus to Supper.

Founded in 2017, Surplus to Supper sources and distributes an average of 10 tons of food per week to food banks, schools, care homes, religious organisations and youth centres.

"Reducing food waste has a considerable number of environmental benefits, including reducing emissions from landfill that contribute to climate change", the Palace said, adding: "Protecting the environment for future generations is one of the Prince of Wales's key priorities."

He met people from the charity as they showed him some of the items they distribute.

The Prince of Wales then donned an apron and headed into the kitchen where he was seen dicing up celery and stirring a big pan of food.

One volunteer handed him two get well soon cards. One for his wife and one for King Charles.
