Prince Edward heads overseas as daughter Lady Louise Windsor returns to university
The Duke of Edinburgh travels all over the UK and abroad for his royal duties, and this week Prince Edward has been in Monaco.

The charity supports young people to find their purpose, place and passion in the world, and was founded by Edward's father, Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, in 1956.
