What a cheeky chappy! Adorable baby sticks his tongue out at an amused Prince Charles as the royal continues his tour of the north of England 

  • The Prince of Wales is on the second day of his tour of the north of England
  • Charles stopped by The Courtyard, a farmstead housing local businesses 
  • Told dairy owners the cheese was 'seriously good' and 'so irresistible' 
  • Locals praised the royal for 'the interest he showed in every single business' 

The Prince of Wales couldn't help but chuckle when a local infant stuck his tongue out at him in Yorkshire today.

Charles, 67, was on a visit to Broadrake Farm in Ingleton on Wednesday when he met the cheeky infant and his mother.

Luckily the royal saw the funny side and dutifully posed for a photograph with the pair as he kicked off the second day of his tour of the north of England.  

Earlier, Charles sampled a range of cheeses made by small producers from across the UK, telling a small shop owner: 'It's all so irresistible.'

He was tasting cheese at The Courtyard - a renovated farmstead in the Yorkshire Dales which is now home to a series of small businesses.

The prince, who is Patron of The Specialist Cheesemakers Association, crossed the border into Yorkshire this morning after spending Tuesday in Lancashire.

Touring the various ventures at The Courtyard, the prince was persuaded to taste a range of their cheeses by Andy and Kathy Swinscoe, owners of the The Courtyard Dairy. 

Mr Swinscoe told Charles how they specialised in cheese made by small family farms, especially unpasteurised varieties from rare breeds.

He said he thought sheep's milk made the best cheese. After trying a piece he was offered, the royal visitor said: 'This is seriously good.'

Once he had tasted a number of Mr Swinscoe's cheeses, he said: 'God, it's all so irresistible.'

The prince toured every business at The Courtyard including Dalesbred, the cabinet makers, The Lime Gallery and Buon Vino, which specialises in wines made using natural methods, organic farming and biodynamic production.

Charles took a close interest in the cakes in The Brasserie as the chefs told him how all were made on the premises with local ingredients.

The Courtyard was renovated in 2012 by Simon and Sally Robinson and Mark Hancock.

Mr Robinson said the opening of the complex created 37 new jobs within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the biggest single creator of jobs in the park at the time.

He said: 'I think it's been a fabulous day today. He was so interested in everything and the story of developing the barn.

'The most impressive part was the interest he showed in every single business.'

He added: 'He does like his cheese.'

Mr Robinson, who also runs the Dalesbred cabinet-making business at the site, said the prince was particularly interested in the problem of finding and training skilled craftsmen.

As Charles was leaving the site, he was approached by young farmer Craig Booth, who said he had taken time out from lambing to thank the royal visitor for the help he received from the Prince's Trust to set up his quad bike-based snow ploughing and gritting business.

He shook Charles's hand and said he just wanted to thank him personally before the pair chatted about lambing in the wintry weather.

The royal finished his day meeting patients, staff, and volunteers at the The Prince of Wales Hospice in Pontefract.

Charles became patron of the hospice in 1987 and president in 2000.
