Broadcast LIVE on Heart, Friday 22nd May 6:30am – 10am on Global Player and YouTube
Heart, the UK’s biggest commercial radio brand, today announced that His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales has invited Heart Breakfast hosts Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden to the Isles of Scilly for a special live broadcast on Friday 22 May.
Prince William personally invited Jamie and Amanda to join him on the islands:
“Hi Jamie and Amanda, I’m heading down to the Isles of Scilly, off the coast of Cornwall, on Friday, to see some of the terrific work going on there to support the local community. I’m also opening the new wing of the hospital in St Mary’s, which will be a fantastic moment. Amanda, I know how fond you are of Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly, so, it would be really lovely, if you could both come along. Have a great morning guys and I very much look forward to seeing you on Friday. Bye!”
On Friday 22 May, Prince William will visit the Isles of Scilly to officially open a new facility designed to increase medical capacity and improve access to healthcare across the islands.
Supported by the Duchy of Cornwall, the community-led redevelopment brings NHS and social care services together to help create a more resilient, future-proof healthcare system for the remote island community.
For the first time ever, Heart will broadcast live from the Isles of Scilly, with Prince William joining Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden live on air to talk about the Duchy-supported redevelopment and wider community initiatives on the islands.
We’re incredibly proud to deliver the first-ever national radio broadcast live from the Isles of Scilly. It’s also a real moment for Heart to welcome The Prince of Wales on air for the first time, and we’re thrilled to bring this special broadcast to our listeners as Prince William marks the opening of the new facility at the Isles of Scilly Hospital. We can’t wait to turn up the feel good from the Isles!

The community-led redevelopment, supported by the Duchy of Cornwall, will help islanders access more care closer to home, reducing the need to travel to the mainland for treatment and helping patients stay near friends and family. It also forms part of wider work to support the long-term resilience of communities across the Isles of Scilly.
Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden is the UK’s biggest commercial breakfast show and Heart is the biggest commercial radio brand with 12.5 million weekly listeners.
