Prince William takes part in CSI training as he visits college in Cornwall
Prince William, who is also known as the Duke of Cornwall, paid a visit to his namesake Duchy on Thursday.
The Duke of Cornwall headed to Duchy College Stoke Climsland in Callington, Cornwall, where he met with students who study a variety of subjects on the campus.
While most students at the south-west England school focus on "land-based degrees" like equine science, agriculture and horticulture, the college is also home to the Military and Protective Services Academy.

Prince William, who was a pilot in the RAF, started his visit with students at the military academy, taking part in crime scene investigation training.
The 42-year-old listened intently as the scenario was explained to him behind yellow tape.
He also cautiously stood next to a car being forensically examined before grabbing a pot of special dust and a brush to take part in the exercise and reveal finger prints.
At one point, the duke was seen holding the brush in his right hand, which is an unusual sight given he's left-handed.

Prince William wore a navy suit with a light blue shirt underneath and kept his unshaven look, with his beard appearing longer.
After taking part in the CSI training, the Duke of Cornwall also visited a student-run cafe on campus and heard from students who are part of the Future Farm program.
The royal then went on a walkabout and met other students on campus before heading off.
Prince William posed for a number of selfies with students - a relatively new thing for the royals to take part in after years of avoiding them.

It's been a busy 24 hours for Prince William, who attended the CentrePoint awards with his younger Spencer cousins last night and before that performed an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.
During the ceremony, he made former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern a Dame Grand Commander of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
