Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan welcomed Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh and the youngest brother of Britain’s King Charles, in Ankara on Wednesday.
The two had a private meeting at the presidential complex, with no additional information disclosed.
The British prince, who is the patron of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, arrived in Türkiye on Monday for a three-day visit to grow awareness of the award and the impact non-formal education and learning can have on young people and their communities.
Later, Edward will lay a wreath at Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Turkish Republic, before attending a reception to mark the 40th anniversary of the Chevening scholarship program.
On Tuesday, Edward visited the famed Basilica Cistern Museum in the heart of Istanbul’s historic Fatih district.
