Prince Edward is published 61: palace special photo

Prince Edward, the youngest brother of the British King Charles III. (76), will be 61 years old on March 10th. His birthday is somewhat in the shade this year. Because the day of honor collapses with the Commonwealth Day. That is why the celebrations for Prince Edward will be a bit smaller. Wife Sophie (60) should even leave for a trip abroad that day.

The Commonwealth Day takes place on the second Monday in March and is under the motto “We thrive together” in 2025. However, Edward will be missing in the festive service. As “GB News” reported, the palace said in advance that the Duke of Edinburgh and his wife will not come together with Charles, William and Kate to the Westminster Abbey. Duchess Sophie will fly to New York for an event on March 10th. Instead, Edward will probably spend the day with other relatives in his BagsHot Park house in Surrey, it said.

Despite the important Commonwealth Day, the Royal Family did not forget its birthday child. Congratulations were published in the: “Happy birthday, Duke of Edinburgh!” A photo of the now 61-year-old, on whom he laughs warmly. In the past difficult year for the Royals, he and his wife became a particularly important pillar of the royal family. Since Charles and Kate had to shorten because of their cancer, Edward and Sophie made many appointments.

Prince Edward was the fourth and last child of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) and Prince Philipp (1921-2021) to the world on March 10, 1964. He has been married since 1999 and has two children with his wife Sophie: son James (17) and daughter Louise (21). On his 59th birthday, he was appointed Duke of Edinburgh by his brother Charles.
