The Duke of Edinburgh visits Estonia

His Royal Highness, in his capacity as Colonel-in-Chief of The Royal Dragoon Guards, visited troops currently deployed to Estonia and attended a training exercise in Harju County. 

This cold weather operator course takes place every year in Estonia and involves soldiers spending two nights in a forest, learning how to build camps, make fires and find food and water. 

Afterwards, The Duke visited Tapa Camp, an army base in Laane-Viru County. 

His Royal Highness was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of The Royal Dragoon Guards, a position previously held by The King, in 2023.

During the official visit, The Duke of Edinburgh also met President Alar Karis at Kadriorg.
