King Charles’ office released a statement to mark Duchess Sophie’s special milestone, who is known as a ‘secret weapon’ of the firm.
On August 11, the royal family’s official Instagram page dropped a series of images showcasing the Duchess of Edinburgh participating in an exciting activity after receiving a new patronage.
Palace stated, “That’s one way to cool down in a heatwave…
“The Duchess of Edinburgh has become Royal Patron of Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team (@afpst), a charity supporting wounded, injured and sick serving personnel and veterans through adaptive skiing, snowboarding and Nordic disciplines.
“During a visit to The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead, Her Royal Highness heard about the breadth of the charity’s programmes and joined athletes on the indoor slopes.”
Fans in the comments section dubbed Sophie a ‘real asset’ of the royal family who has been making great contributions in strengthening the monarchy.
