Buckingham Palace Just Shared New Photos of a Surprising Royal Family Member (And It Had Me Doing a Double Take)
If there's one thing the royal family is known for, it's keeping busy. Whether it's Prince William and Kate Middleton's whirlwind trip to Scotland or Meghan Markle making her debut as a guest on a podcast, royal family members always seem to be on the move. Luckily for royal watchers, much of their work is shared publicly through social media. A quick scroll through the official Royal Family Instagram account offers a glimpse into the engagements of Duchess Sophie, Princess Anne, and, of course, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
But a recent post caught my attention for a different reason—it featured a royal we haven't seen much of lately: Prince Edward.
Buckingham Palace shared a trio of photos showing the Duke of Edinburgh at a Scout Association event and it was a refreshing surprise. In the first photo, Prince Edward is seen standing across from a group of scouts, cane in hand. The second captures him seated among others, waving as scouts pass by to greet them. The third shows him standing next to Chief Scout Dwayne Fields.
'A wonderful day honouring young awardees of The King's Scout Award - the highest recognition in Scouting adventure and skill development,' the April 28 post was captioned. 'At Windsor Castle, The Duke of Kent joined Chief Scout Dwayne Fields to congratulate the recipients - and to celebrate 50 years of His Royal Highness's work with the @Scouts Association!'
The last time I remember seeing Prince Edward featured was about a month ago, when the palace posted a slideshow of him visiting Mumbai Stadium. There, he was seen speaking with students participating in his International Award Program (IAYP India), which supports young people in reaching their full potential.
Prince Edward isn't the only one connecting with the Scouts recently—Kate Middleton also released two surprise videos earlier this month, championing both the organization and the importance of outdoor learning.
Can't wait to see what the royals do next.
