“Our promise to Prince Philip should be that, where there are young people with difficulties to face growing up in this modern and complicated world, then The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award will always be there for them.” This week The Earl of Wessex has been in Romania for the @international_award Forum, which aims to discuss and plan the future growth of the Award worldwide, while also remembering the late Duke of Edinburgh’s impact. His Royal Highness also met some of the 10,000 young people who are currently taking part in the Award in Romania, and joining some young footballers at Academia Viitorul for a kick-about. The Earl also attended a Gold Award Ceremony, where 70 young people from seven countries across Europe received their Awards.
