The Queen's Commonwealth Trust
We champion, fund and connect young leaders who are working hard to change the world.
We are so very sorry to hear of the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, a stalwart supporter of young people and the Commonwealth throughout his lifetime. He will be very greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen, and the Royal Family, at this time.
