On the occasion of Prince Edward’s 61st birthday this past Monday, King Charles and Queen Camilla expressed their warmest wishes in a heartfelt public message. The royal couple took the opportunity to honor the Duke of Edinburgh, sharing a delightful photograph from his recent visit to the enchanting Railworld Wildlife Haven in Peterborough, where he enjoyed a day surrounded by nature’s beauty.
The message, which was shared through the official Royal Family social media channels, read: “Happy Birthday to The Duke of Edinburgh!” This joyous celebration coincided with the exciting announcement of Prince Edward’s new role as the patron of the Royal Tennis Court at the iconic Hampton Court Palace, a historical landmark renowned for its stunning gardens and rich royal history.
Notably, Prince Edward’s affinity for the game of Real Tennis can be traced back to his university days, where he actively participated and even earned a Gold Award in the sport. This combination of personal passion and royal duty reflects his commitment to both his family legacy and the promotion of sports within the community.
