The Duchess of Edinburgh is certainly undertaking a lot of oversea's trips!

 

[Elly C]

The Duchess of Edinburgh is certainly undertaking a lot of oversea's trips!

And I imagine this will continue to be the case. There are relatively few British royals that can undertake such trips, certainly not with any regularity, due to either their advanced years or health issues.

Sophie's spoken out about the exploitation of female refugees in Chad. I really wish that this visit was being given more prominent coverage. It's such an important subject.

Yes I agree. Sophia works really hard in difficult areas, but never appears to receive the recognition the subject deserves.

[Alison H]

Both Sky News and the BBC reported on the civil war in Sudan, which is what's causing the refugee crisis in Chad, yesterday. That's presumably due to Sophie's visit. So she's done an important job on helping to bring it to people's attention.
