The Duchess of Edinburgh was welcomed to the University of West London on Monday for the launch of an important initiative. Sophie arrived at the university's Ealing Campus to attend the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Partnership Charter Launch. The new charter brings together organisations and professionals working to improve support and opportunities for people with SEND.

Meanwhile, Prince Edward is spending this week in Switzerland working with the DofE International Award, where he is meeting leaders from the worlds of education, sport, business and technology, as well as representatives from international organisations.

His visit is centred on the importance of investing in human skills and fostering collaboration across different sectors to empower youth and create lasting impacts globally.

The royal engagements highlight ongoing commitments to education, inclusion, and international cooperation by senior members of the British royal family.
