The royal family said in a social media statement on Friday that Duchess Sophie met farmers at the Leckford estate in Hampshire ahead of Open Farm Sunday on Thursday, June 7.
According to the statement, the Duchess of Edinburgh made the visit as Honorary President of LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) ahead of Open Farm Sunday on June 7.
It says, “Open Farm Sunday, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, has given more than 3.5 million people the opportunity to tour working farms, meet the people who grow their food, and learn more about the vital role farming plays in the environment, economy and rural communities.”
The statement said Duchess Sophie joined the LEAF team at the farm, helping to set up the Hebble maze and placing welcome banners around the site.
Duchess Sophie is the wife of Prince Edward, the youngest brother of King Charles III. She is one of the most active members of the royal family, often representing the monarch at events in the UK and abroad.
