The Duke of Edinburgh visited the King Richard III Visitor Centre in May 2023.

His Royal Highness was able to view the exhibition and learn more about the archaeological dig to find King Richard III’s remains and subsequent DNA testing.

The Duke then visited Leicester Cathedral to view the final resting place of King Richard III.

His Royal Highness had earlier visited Shama Women’s Centre in Leicester, which is a local charity that works to provide culturally inclusive support and activities to local women. His Royal Highness also paid a visit to the African Caribbean Centre which offers a variety of classes, social activities and special events for people of all ages.
