THE royal Prince Edward who has been the colonel of the Scots Guards for the last 50 years has resigned the post – and will be replaced by another royal called Prince Edward.
The 88-year-old said:"Through those years, I have seen the work of the Scots Guards during peacetime and war and witnessed their bravery, selfless courage and devotion to duty.“I am delighted that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will continue to champion all that you do and work towards preserving your great legacy."
They carry out ceremonial duties in support of royals at state events and their history can be traced back to 1642. “Quite apart from his depth of knowledge and keen understanding of the regiment and all those who serve, past and present, he has been a tireless and passionate advocate.“However, I accept with a degree of trepidation as I will undoubtedly be measured against the formidable record and reputation of my predecessor. I can only promise to do my best."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
