    Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, marked over 25 years of marriage during their official visit to Nepal. They described each other as “best friends” and shared how humor has kept their relationship strong.

    A Royal Bond Full of Laughter

    On their third day in Nepal, the couple planted a magnolia tree at the Godawari National Botanic Garden. They joked with each other as they worked. When asked about their fun exchanges, Edward replied, “Because we’re best friends.” Sophie agreed, saying, “That’s true.”

    She added that humor is important, especially when traveling. “There’s always got to be a lot of humor. Especially when you’re traveling and you’ve got no idea what’s coming next.”

    A Family Tradition in Nepal

    The magnolia tree Edward and Sophie planted is near two trees planted in 1986 by his parents, the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Edward was happy to continue the family tradition. “It’s great to continue the long trail of family visits to Nepal,” he said.

    Sophie smiled and said they often compete to see whose tree grows better. “We always check if the trees are doing well.”

    Nepal’s Warm Welcome

    Edward and Sophie were grateful for Nepal’s kindness. Edward mentioned the long history between Nepal and the UK, noting how meaningful it is to see the relationship between the two countries.

    Bringing Attention to Important Causes

    One reason for the royal visit is to raise awareness for good causes. Edward hopes their visit will highlight local charities. “There are amazing people and groups doing great work. If we can help them get more attention, it will help them do more,” he said.

    Sophie added that royal visits also help local support. “Ministers often attend, and if they learn something valuable, it could lead to change,” she said.

    Supporting Victims of Trafficking and Violence

    During her visit to Maiti Nepal in Kathmandu, Sophie learned about the struggles of women affected by human trafficking and violence. She described their situations as “desperate” and stressed the need for more support.

    At the organization, women recalled meeting King Charles III in 1998. His fundraising efforts helped Maiti Nepal grow. Sophie reflected, saying, “Without that help, they might not have come so far. It really was a game changer for them.”

    Honoring the Gurkhas

    Edward and Sophie also attended a ceremony for 274 new Gurkha recruits, who were chosen from over 13,000 applicants for the British Army. Sophie felt moved as she watched the recruits swear an oath of allegiance. “It was emotional to see their dedication. You could feel how real it was for them,” she said.

    Strengthening Nepal-UK Ties

    The royal visit is a reminder of the strong bond between Nepal and the UK. Through their work with local communities, charities, and the Gurkha regiment, Edward and Sophie are helping to build support and goodwill. Their journey shows how royal visits can raise awareness about important issues and strengthen diplomatic ties.
