In a happy coincidence, my trip has coincided with Prince Harry’s visit to the country, which has delighted locals and the media. Originally meant to stay for five days, he decided to extend his visit by six days to help with the relief effort.

The small, landlocked country in southeast Asia was hit by a devastating earthquake last April, which killed over 8,000 people and left thousands homeless.

With around 90% of the population dependent on agriculture, the earthquake also had a terrible impact on farming, killing thousands of animals and affecting planting.

Therefore it’s good to see Prince Harry taking an interest in agriculture during his time in Nepal, in between being a dashing philanthropist.

Currently residing in Lupu Besi in the Gorkha district, locals say he has visited a few of the farms in the area and has taken an interest in their practices – not surprising given Prince Charles’ love of farming.

In fact, Suk Maya Gurung, a local farmer, said Harry asked if the farm was organic, like his dad’s home farm. Only the best for the fifth in line to the throne.

We are told that he then went on to quiz farmers about the production of potatoes. This makes us wonder if he’s thinking about setting up his own small-holding as a handy little sideline enterprise?

Royal organic potatoes would sell quite well, we imagine. If he’s lucky his dad might even give him a few hectares in Dartmoor.
