His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales has sent his best wishes to all involved with the Auckland Castle Trust.
When asked what he thought about our plans for the development of the castle he said:
“The key (to the development) is the people, not just bricks and mortar. Im so pleased that helping to provide opportunities for local people is also at the heart of the project. I very much look forward to visiting Auckland Castle myself in the future.”
