The Earl and Countess of Wessex got a chance to meet some of the young leaders of the Caribbean when he visited the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies today.
In the second stop on their two-day official visit to the island to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the reign of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, interacted with members of the executive of the Guild of Students before a 15-minute meet-and-greet of other select students.
Speaking to each of the 24 student leaders, the fourth child of the Queen enquired their area of study, how close they were to completion, their intended career choice and even joked about the large number of students who were studying law. (GE)
