Duchess Sophie in Nepal: She gives gift for Charles

Sophie (60), Duchess of Edinburgh, is currently visiting her husband Prince Edward (60) Nepal. This Wednesday she visited Maiti Nepal, an organization that works for the survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation and gender -specific violence.

The 60-year-old completed a tour of the house that offers space for rescued women and children. She was shown classrooms, playrooms, bedrooms and a crèche. It was also led by a photo exhibition that visited King Charles III. (76) held in the center in 1998. Duchess Sophie met several women in handicrafts who had met the monarch, at that time the Prince of Wales.

Among them was a woman who was five years old on Charles’ visit to the Maiti Nepal. She presented Duchess Sophie a self -embroidered pillow, which she should hand over to the king with a photo of the two and a letter. Among other things, it should be read in the message: “Please accept this gift, which was made in gratitude and respect, as a memory of the life you touched.” Duchess Sophie said to the woman that Charles would love the gift. “He will be very happy to get that. I will make sure that he gets it.”

Further details were revealed on the couple’s different appointments in Nepal. “The Duke of Edinburgh met with young Nepalese – including scouts or students – who benefit from the International Award in Nepal.” As part of his educational program, Edward then presented “Gold Awards to 18 outstanding young participants”. In the meantime, the Duchess of Edinburgh also visited the Bhaktapur hospital station to find out about the health of mothers and the care of newborns, as well as the The Ridley Eye Foundation, which offers people in high -aligned and remote areas .
