As interest in the royal baby focuses on St Mary’s Hospital, in London, Charles will be welcomed by farmers and staff at Dovecote Park in Stapleton this afternoon as part of a two-day tour of Yorkshire.

He will also visit the National Railway Museum in York and view the museum’s collection of royal carriages. He will see Queen Victoria’s favourite carriage, King Edward’s saloon and Queen Elizabeth’s saloon, used by the royal family during the Second World War.
