'In Glanusk Estate – you sold me a CD from a bric-a-brac stall.'William laughed and replied: 'Dodgy car boot sale, yes I remember that.'Mr Wyatt joked: 'Still doing that?' and the future king replied: 'No, I don't sell… it's dried up a bit that one, perhaps I should reopen it.'Mr Wyatt's wife added that they could not remember the title of the CD and the prince confessed: 'I got up to a lot… we had some fun round there.'Glanusk Estate near Crickhowell is the family home of William's former nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke and is the venue of the popular Green Man Festival. The Prince of Wales speaks with Rod and Helen Wyatt yesterday in Skenfrith, Monmouthshire Prince William laughs with Rod Wyatt as they talk about his days selling CDs as a boy William during his visit to the village of Skenfrith, a small settlement in south-east WalesThe nanny, now aged 61 and known as Alexandra Pettifer, cared for William and his brother Prince Harry for much of the 1990s.Her late mother was Dame Shan Legge-Bourke, a former Lord Lieutenant of Powys for 20 years until she retired from the role in 2018.William had been in Skenfrith to learn about its flood defences ahead of the upcoming storm season, and said a 'holistic' approach to tackle extreme flooding is needed.The prince sympathised with residents in the village who might be 'anxious' about extreme weather events he said were no longer 'one in 50-year' occurrences but seemed to be happening every year.Skenfrith has faced four major floods in six years but the most recent last winter caused the biggest impact there after the River Monnow swept through the village after Storm Claudia brought a month's rain in 24 hours to parts of England and Wales.William was visiting the area to learn about how communities have been affected by recent flooding and what measures are being taken by local authorities and other agencies to mitigate future incidents.The future king even got behind the wheel of a tractor sowing winter wheat with the aid of satellite navigation, when he visited the Duchy of Cornwall's first regenerative farm tenant.He chatted to Mr and Mrs Wyatt at their garden gate and was told how the water almost topped gravestones in a cemetery opposite and they have now tiled the ground floor of their house and just live with the threat of flooding.

It might be in the researching and scientific point of view – it's happening every year now, it's mad.'So, it's trying to understand how we can do a better holistic view of the whole catchment area, so we're dealing with the whole problem.'He listed a number of ideas from 'slowing the water down' using farming landscaping remedies, tree planting and better monitoring 'so we know when things might be getting worse'.William discussed the ideas in detail during his next visit, meeting representatives from environmental charity Stump Up for Trees at Great Tre-Rhew Farm in Monmouthshire.The charity, founded in 2020, aims to plant one million native trees across south Wales and the Bannau Brycheiniog, formerly known as the Brecon Beacons.William joined volunteers harvesting seeds from a field maple tree and planted a sessile oak tree – designated as the national tree of Wales.
