Royal rumble as Prince Edward plays walking rugby on visit to community project

Prince Edward joined locals in Angus for a game of walking rugby - as he praised the work of a local charity that aims to help people of all ages stay healthy.

The Earl of Forfar, as he is known north of the border, paid a visit to Strathmore Community Rugby Trust at Inchmacoble Park in thw town on Thursday. Donning a red bib, he took part in the more relaxed version of the sport with locals, which is designed to be played by those physically unable to play its pacier cousin.

Known as the Earl of Wessex elsewhere, Edward was granted the title of Earl of Forfar in 2019 as a 55th birthday present from The Queen. He was named Royal Patron of the Strathmore Community Rugby Trust in 2020, and Thursday marked his second visit to the charity to see its work.
