On another thread we are talking about the royal family slimming down in the future, but the DofE award is something that will probably live on for a long time. Edward goes about doing things quietly, but that project has affected many people in a very positive way. It's interesting that the media choose to leave the Wessex family alone.

they're not very interesting. Edward has I hope outgrown his sulky boy days and he and Sophie has been chastened by the mistakes they have made, and they've largely been quiet adn gone about their work for the past years. I think they have both toed the line and behaved Ok since the start of their royal life...

@PrincessOfPeace as I was so glad to see how this video was organized for the recipients. I'm disappointed that the awards celebrations could not be held, but it doesn't take away from the honor that these young people deserve.

Open to all young people, it takes a minimum of 12 months to complete. People are challenged to build their own programmes with activities in five sections -physical skills, volunteering, a 5-day residential, and 4-day expedition.
