Prince of Wales celebrates new patronage at London event highlighting UK-Oman ties.
Prince William, the Prince of Wales, marked an important milestone on Monday as he held a key meeting with Theyazin bin Haitham, the heir to the Omani throne, during a solo outing in London.
The event, held at the Royal Geographical Society, celebrated William’s new role as Co-Patron of the Jewel of Arabia Expedition. This initiative, shared with Theyazin, aims to strengthen the longstanding relationship between the United Kingdom and Oman while promoting environmental conservation and cultural exchange.
Royal commentator Rebecca English shared a video from the event, showing William engaging with attendees and examining artefacts related to the original expedition that inspired the initiative.
The Jewel of Arabia Expedition seeks to spotlight Oman’s rich biodiversity and natural heritage, aligning closely with William’s dedication to sustainability and conservation efforts.
William’s solo appearance at the event highlighted his growing role as a global representative for the royal family, while his wife, Princess Catherine, focuses on preparations for her upcoming Christmas Carol concert.
