Kate and William visited Cumbria and the Lake District on Tuesday. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got stuck into some farm work while up north and Kate tried her hand at sheep shearing at Deepdale Hall Farm in Patterdale.

Sitting with local farmers in Patterdale near Ullswater over tea and cake, William and Kate even pushed the boundaries of royal protocol as the Duke asked if they were “worried” about a no deal Brexit.

The group told the royals that it could be “absolutely dire” for their livelihoods.
