Duke of Edinburgh represents King Charles on key visit to India
Buckingham Palace has provided an exciting update on Prince Edward’s ongoing royal tour in India, where he is representing King Charles.
The Duke of Edinburgh met with young participants of the International Award for Young People in India (IAYP), a program aimed at helping students develop skills, confidence, and purpose.
Sharing moments from the visit, the Palace released photos of Edward engaging with students and officials at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium. Accompanying the images, a statement read:
"The Duke of Edinburgh has been in Mumbai and Delhi to meet those participating in @IAYPIndia, a non-formal education and learning framework supporting young people to find their purpose, place, and passion in the world."
"Since its inception in India in 1962, the Award has helped more than 150,000 students from 325 schools and educational institutions across the country."
Prince Edward and his wife, Duchess Sophie, have become invaluable to King Charles, stepping up to fulfill royal duties, particularly during recent health challenges within the monarchy.
Reports also suggest that Prince William has “big plans” for the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s expanded role when he ascends the throne, further solidifying their importance in the future of the Royal Family.
