As per a heartfelt update shared on Royal Family’s official Instagram account, Edward visited County Durham to mark the 200th anniversary of the first public passenger train journey on September 27.

The Instagram post, which saw the husband of Duchess Sophie interacting with the railway officials and staff, was further captioned, “The first public journey on the S&DR took place on 27 September 1825 from Shildon to Stockton, via Darlington. The locomotive ‘Locomotion No. 1’ pulled several waggons of coal and goods, and a carriage called Experiment carrying the world’s first fare-paying passengers to take a journey driven by a steam locomotive.”
