🇯🇪 The Duchess of Edinburgh has visited Jersey!

In this clip from ‘Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision’, a 21-year-old Prince of Wales speaks out about pollution at a time when few in public life were willing to do so. The King’s commitment has not wavered since then. Yesterday, during London Climate Action Week, His Majesty attended a reception at St James’s Palace formed of world leaders, scientists, changemakers, and business leaders to hear about action being taken to reduce super pollutants in the earths atmosphere. #LCAW2026

🥋 An inspiring morning with REORG, learning about the work the charity does to support military personnel, veterans, and emergency service workers through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. At the renowned Roger Gracie Academy in Hammersmith, The King joined a discussion with REORG students to hear how the sport is used to help those facing physical, social, and mental challenges. His Majesty watched demonstrations taking place on the mats, met Academy students, presented a black belt to a REORG team member — and received his own white belt!

🏏 This morning, The King welcomed the Afghan national women’s cricket team to Clarence House. The team was set up during the Afghan Republic in 2010, but lost recognition as a national team following the Taliban’s return to power. In Afghanistan, women and girls are banned from playing sport, along with other restrictions on their education, work and public life. His Majesty was able to hear the stories of many of the players who fled Afghanistan and have rebuilt their lives as refugees, playing club cricket informally, and campaigning for recognition.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict — a moment to reflect on the devastating impact of conflict around the world, with women and girls often most at risk of harm. The Duchess of Edinburgh has long been a passionate advocate for the vital role that women play in peacebuilding and drawing attention to the issue of conflict-related sexual violence that continues to be perpetrated around the world. Her Royal Highness has met survivors, peacebuilders, medical professionals and changemakers across the globe — from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Kosovo, South Sudan, Lebanon, Chad and beyond. Through listening, learning and lending her voice, The Duchess continues to shine a light on the courage of survivors and the urgent need for global action.
