Duchess of Edinburgh royal patronages

Overview

The Duchess of Edinburgh has taken on new royal patronages supporting individuals with disabilities and veterans.

In August 2026, she was named Royal Patron of the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team (AFPST), an organization that assists wounded or injured military personnel through adaptive skiing, snowboarding, and Nordic disciplines. During a visit to The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead, she met with athletes and veterans to discuss how adaptive sports aid in rehabilitation.

Shortly thereafter, she was appointed Royal Patron of Visualise Scotland, an Edinburgh-based charity providing housing and specialized services for adults with visual impairments and complex disabilities. The appointment is noted as having personal significance for the Duchess due to her daughter’s medical history regarding vision correction.
