The Duchess of Edinburgh, as Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), celebrated the collaboration between the UK and Tanzania on health, agriculture and women’s empowerment.

Media personality Nancy Sumari penned a noted following their chat.

“Last week, The Duchess of Edinburgh visited Tanzania to celebrate the collaboration between the UK and Tanzania on health, agriculture and women's empowerment,” she continued.

“I sat down with The Duchess to hear more about her ambition to eliminate avoidable blindness across the Commonwealth by 2030.”

Sumari added that during the visit Sophie “visited health care projects in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, which are transforming the lives of so many affected by treatable neglected tropical diseases, including blinding trachoma.”

The update comes as Prince Harry is set to return to the UK next week to attend the WellChild Awards, a charity that he has been a patron to for the past 16 years years.

It is uncertain whether there will be meeting held with his cancer-stricken father during his visit.
