BIRGITTE, the Duchess of Gloucester, is visiting two well-known organisations in Hereford today.<\/p>\n
Her visit will include the Little Princess Trust, based on Berrington Street, and Wyevale Nurseries.<\/p>\n
But it is not the first time that a member of the Royal Family have visited the county.<\/p>\n
Here are four times when the Royal Family visited Herefordshire in recent years.<\/p>\n
In September 2023, the Prince and Princess of Wales, now Prince William and Princess Catherine, visited Hereford.<\/p>\n
Their visit focused on education, mental health, and sustainable farming.<\/p>\n
They began at Madley Primary School’s Forest School, observing children engaged in nature-based activities.<\/p>\n
They then travelled to Kings Pitt Farm to discuss regenerative agriculture with tenant farmers.<\/p>\n
The visit highlighted their interest in countryside issues, youth development, and rural mental-health support.<\/p>\n
In October 2024, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited Herefordshire.<\/p>\n
His trip centred on veterans, skills training, and further education.<\/p>\n
He toured NMITE, where students showcased engineering projects, and unveiled a commemorative plaque.<\/p>\n
He also visited Holme Lacy College, inspecting its new Low Carbon Technology Training Centre.<\/p>\n
The highlight was his visit to Hereford Veteran Support, where he opened a new facility dedicated to helping local veterans.<\/p>\n
In January 2025, the Prince of Wales returned to Herefordshire for a working visit to Lower Blakemere Farm.<\/p>\n
He examined composting systems, soil-health measures, and other regenerative techniques used by tenant farmers.<\/p>\n
The farm is one of seven Duchy sites used to test and demonstrate low-carbon, biodiversity-friendly farming methods.<\/p>\n
His visit highlighted practical steps toward net-zero agriculture.<\/p>\n
