On a lovely sunny morning the Duchess of Strathearn has put a smile on many people’s faces here in Edinburgh.
Welcomed by The Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh the Rt Hon Donald Wilson, she stepped into the playground at Gracemount Primary School where one of the pupils presented her with a bouquet. There had been much practising of curtseys before then!
The Duchess of Cambridge, also known as The Countess of Strathearn in Scotland, will visit three school based charity projects in Edinburgh on Wednesday 24th February. The focus of the day is on the valuable partnerships that exist locally between charities, communities and schools to deliver a range of integrated programmes and sporting activities designed to nurture children and young people.
In the morning, Her Royal Highness will continue her work in support of the mental health of children with visits to two of her patronages who have a presence in Edinburgh – Place2Be and The Art Room.
Her Royal Highness was in the school for about an hour and then left to huge cheers from the assembled pupils.
