Buckingham Palace shares update after Duchess Sophie’s accident

Buckingham Palace makes reassuring update after Duchess Sophie was struck by a golf ball on Tuesday during a royal engagement.

On Wednesday, Prince Edward stepped out in Cambridge to continue royal engagements just a day after his wife’s accident.

King Charles younger brother had a chance to meet with young artists and how they have benefitted from the Cambridge Junction programme, which first kicked off in 1990.

In an update shared on the official social media of the royal family, a carousel post gave glimpses into the highlights of the royal visit.

“The Duke of Edinburgh visited Cambridge Junction this week to see the charity and arts centre’s work with young people and emerging artists,” the statement began.

“During the visit His Royal Highness met artists and young people who benefit from the centre’s programmes, including learners from the Olive Academy who were taking part in a DJ workshop and local young musicians sound checking for the venue’s longstanding emerging band night.”

It continued, “The Duke spoke to apprentices and staff and members of Cambridge Junction’s artist development programme rehearsing new performance pieces before unveiling a plaque to commemorate their first Royal visit.”

The Duchess of Edinburgh was photographed playing crazy golf as she visited the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) as a patron on Tuesday.

However, when Sophie hit the ball with the golf club and it quickly bounded back and hit the duchess in the face.

The Duke’s outing, soon after Sophie’s injury, comes as a relief indicating that the Duchess is doing fine.
