The Queen’s youngest son, 58,
was received by His Majesty’s Ambassador to the Republic of Estonia, Ross
Allen, after he departed from Farnborough airport in Hampshire.
The Earl of Wessex landed at
Tallinn Airport for his two-day visit which he is doing as part of his role as
Royal Colonel of 2nd Battalion, the Rifles and Royal Honorary Colonel of the
Royal Wessex Yeomanry.
The Prince was due to visit
Germany and the Czech Republic last week but plans changed due to the passing
of Her Majesty the Queen.
During
Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral on Monday, the Earl and his wife Sophie Wessex
were caught in an emotional moment.
The royal duo sat on the end
of the front row in front of the Queen’s coffin and appeared to be visibly
upset as they both reached for handkerchiefs.
Prince Edward was also spotted
wiping his face as his wife, Sophie, looked over to her husband. A moment
later, Sophie grabbed herself a tissue and wiped away her tears.
The Countess of Wessex is
known for having had an incredible bond with the late Queen and she was seen
comforting Prince George, nine, in another touching moment during the
service.
