The first of Peter’s pictures was taken during a visit by Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall to Talgarth Mill when the Royal couple enjoyed a joke while helping to knead bread during their visit in July 2016.
The second picture shows Prince Charles sharing a private joke with Garth Village Hall chair Janet Williams when he visited the hall a year after it was refurbished to celebrate its 100th birthday during the same visit to Wales.
