Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the Philadelphia area on Wednesday, April 30, beginning a two-day visit, following a two-day stop in New York City.
During his stay, the Independence Historical Trust hosted His Royal Highness as he celebrates history and youth education in Philadelphia.
Among his appearances in the city, Prince Edward participated in a special dedication ceremony for the Bicentennial Bell at the Benjamin Rush Garden inside Independence National Historical Park.
The Prince toured the Garden before meeting representatives from the Landenberger Family Foundation, which has generously supported a plethora of charities and organizations in and around Philadelphia, including the Benjamin Rush Garden. The visit wrapped up as His Highness enjoyed lunch with Mayor Parker and dignitaries at Carpenter’s Hall.
