Is Prince William going to appear in new season of Clarkson’s Farm?
27th March 2025
Prince William may appear in the well-known farming show Clarkson’s Farm, as he yesterday met with Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland as well as a group of young farmers on a farm in Somerset.
Prince William got together with some of the Duchy of Cornwall’s young farmers to talk about their mental health and the challenges they are facing while working in the farming industry.
The Prince of Wales told Sky News: “I think there’s a worry with everyone about where they see farming in 10 years’ time, and I always say, ‘don’t forget we always need a farmer three times a day: breakfast, dinner and tea’.
“I’ve always said farmers are really good problem solvers. And yes, okay, they may solve the problem. But then at the end of the day, they take that on board themselves.
“That’s where the stress comes from, and that’s why mental health issues occurs in the farming industry a lot. So it’s good to talk about it.”
Breaking the stigma around farmers’ mental health
Prince William has also announced the news that he has become the patron of We Are Farming Minds charity.
He posted on social media: ‘Founded by Duchy of Cornwall tenants Sam and Emily Stables, this brilliant charity provides training, events, information, support and advice on mental health to farmers in Herefordshire and beyond.
‘The link with We Are Farming Minds forms a crucial part of the Duchy’s rural mental health strategy, which aims to prioritise and destigmatise mental health support for farmers and tenants.
‘With all the external pressured faced by farmers, it has never been more important to break the stigma and support better mental health. Thanks for hosting a great conversation, Vick Hope.’
The We Are Farming Minds team said that getting Prince William as the charity’s patron is a “massive step” for them.
While talking about farmers’ mental health, Clarkson’s Farm star, Kaleb Cooper, advised that farmers should spend more time talking to each other to get relief after dealing with problems on their farms.
Charlie Ireland added: “Farmers have been very good at looking over the hedge, wondering what’s been going on, but actually there’s a real opportunity to knowledge-share and know that you’re not alone. Sharing knowledge makes it a lot easier to thrive.’
‘Mind your language’
While talking to Kaleb, Prince William revealed that his son Prince George is a big fan of the Clarkson’s Farm show.
Knowing about the visit, Prince George asked his father to tell Kaleb to “mind his language” while working on Jeremy Clarkson’s farm.
According to BBC News, Kaleb responded: “I did get told off for swearing too much… I tried to stop, but at the same time, it’s awesome. That’s what I like about the whole show… I’ve had so many people thank me, going ‘you brought the family together’. It’s a great feeling.”
While talking to the media back in September, he also confirmed that they were likely to wrap up filming for season four “in a couple of weeks”.
The material then needs to be edited and translated, so Clarkson’s Farm fans should be expecting the new season to come out around May 2025.
