Duke, Duchess of Edinburgh set to represent King Charles on upcoming tour\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are set to represent King Charles during their upcoming international trip. <\/p>\n

According to GB News, Prince Edward and the Duchess Sophie have been appointed by His Majesty for their first diplomatic mission since receiving their senior royal titles. <\/p>\n

The couple will travel to Japan and Papua New Guinea from September 14 to September 22, serving as official representatives of the British monarch. <\/p>\n

During their royal visit, Edward and Sophie will also celebrate Papua New Guinea’s golden jubilee of independence. <\/p>\n

Media reports indicate that the 61-year-old member of the British Royal Family will attend ceremonies marking 50 years since Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia. <\/p>\n

This visit will reportedly mark a British effort to strengthen ties between Papua New Guinea and the British monarchy. <\/p>\n

It is important to note that Papua New Guinea became a Commonwealth realm in 1975,during the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II. <\/p>\n

Prince Edward will conclude his weeklong trip by participating in a sunrise flag ceremony and attending an official state banquet honoring the anniversary to distribute King’s Medals to Papua New Guineans.<\/p>\n

As of now, neither Prince Edward nor Duchess Sophie has announced their upcoming trip together.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Duke, Duchess of Edinburgh set to represent King Charles on upcoming tour\u00a0 The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-364719","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-royal","9":"tag-royal-families","10":"tag-royal-family","11":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115072621986333612","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
