If there’s one thing the royal family is known for, it’s keeping busy. Whether it’s Prince William and Kate Middleton’s whirlwind trip to Scotland or Meghan Markle making her debut as a guest on a podcast, royal family members always seem to be on the move. Luckily for royal watchers, much of their work is shared publicly through social media. A quick scroll through the official Royal Family Instagram account offers a glimpse into the engagements of Duchess Sophie, Princess Anne, and, of course, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
But a recent post caught my attention for a different reason—it featured a royal we haven’t seen much of lately: Prince Edward.
Buckingham Palace shared a trio of photos showing the Duke of Kent at a Scout Association event and it was a refreshing surprise. In the first photo, Prince Edward is seen standing across from a group of scouts, cane in hand. The second captures him seated among others, waving as scouts pass by to greet them. The third shows him standing next to Chief Scout Dwayne Fields.
