On the 14th of March 2013 we have received, as a school, a Royal visit. Prince Edward has arrived for a Duke of Edinburgh competition. The preparations were all quite hectic as there were strict security measures concerning his arrival.
He was due to come at around twelve o´clock and walk through our school together with giving a final speech in the auditorium, which was only for the chosen selection of people, mainly children, teachers and journalists. I saw him when he arrived and the kids happily cheered him and waved their British flags and I also had a chance to watch him closely from several metres while he stopped to talk to few students in the hallway corridor. He seemed very pleasant and well mannered, even deeply interested in the social work of our students and encouraging them to do such work further. He was like a nice chap from the next door almost, to whom you could talk to about weather if you liked to. He strikingly resembled Prince Charles, eventhough he lacked his hair. But other than that his features were all Queen Elisabeth, his dear Mother.
When he was leaving the premises, there were another children that said goodbye to Prince as he approached them for the last time. It was very exquisite experience and I cannot contain how much this short encounter has meant to me. I am very grateful to be present here at that day and be able to see one of the members of the Royal family with my own eyes.
