The Duchess of Edinburgh has arrived in Brussels for two day visit dedicated to addressing child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Representing her role as Patron of the NSPCC and Plan International UK, Sophie is engaging in discussions and initiatives aimed at safeguarding children both online and within communities.
During her visit, she delivered a keynote speech emphasising the devastating impact of child sexual exploitation and abuse, followed by attending a panel discussion that explored global strategies to combat these crimes.
