Poundbury, Dorset: "A Utopian Idyll"; HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge

Prince William pays a surprise visit to Poundbury, MailOnline

I happened to walk past the group of visitors twice, without recognizing Prince William, who had come to see for himself the "Utopian idyll where there is no segregation of social classes, and schools, shops and places of work are within walking distance".

It was a private visit. "In keeping with the informality of the event, William dressed down in a grey fleece, chinos and brown boots".
