“Ahead of the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, The Duchess of Edinburgh sat down with James ‘Jim’ Wren, a 105-year-old Royal Marines veteran, at his care home in Salisbury, Wiltshire,” the palace captioned the post.
“Mr Wren survived the sinking of HMS Repulse in 1941 and was later a Prisoner of War for three and a half years, having been captured whilst escaping from Singapore in February 1942,” they added. “Her Royal Highness is Patron of The Java Far East Prisoner of War Club 1942.”
And of course, this isn’t Duchess Sophie’s first standout moment. Just last month, she proved she can pull off any look—stepping out as Colonel-in-Chief of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in full camo and later changing into a stunning blue floral dress for a separate engagement in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
