Buckingham Palace has released a meaningful statement just days before Prince Harry’s imminent return to the United Kingdom. However, the post wasn’t related to the Prince and brought Prince Edward to the spotlight.
On January 17, the Palace wrote along with Edwar’s picture in military uniform the following caption: “As Colonel-in-Chief of The Royal Dragoon Guards, The Duke of Edinburgh has visited troops currently deployed to Estonia and attended a training exercise in Harju County.”
King Charles III’s younger brother, Edward, began his overseas visit on Thursday with a series of military-focused events, including a cold weather training exercise. He conducted military engagements in Estonia, just days before his wife turned 60 years old.
In addition, the Duke also visited Tapa Camp, an army base located in Laane-Viru County. The latest Buckingham Palace statement left mixed reactions from the royal followers, who might be waiting for the outcome of Prince Harry’s visit to the United Kingdom.
