Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, arrived in Czechia on Tuesday afternoon for a three-day visit. During his stay, he will meet with Czech students taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at the British Embassy in Prague.
The Earl of Wessex will also visit the village of Vestec near Prague, pay his respects at a memorial to the heroes of Operation Anthropoid, and meet with Czech President Petr Pavel.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a youth development program that encourages young people to develop skills for life and work. It is open to all 14-24 year olds and is designed to help them become more confident, responsible, and engaged citizens.
Prince Edward’s visit to Czechia is a testament to the strong ties between the two countries and the importance of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in helping young people develop important life skills.
