The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are visiting Portugal to celebrate the enduring historical ties and modern relationship between the United Kingdom and Portugal.
On the second day of their visit, the Duchess of Edinburgh met with students taking part in Model NATO. The programme is a British Embassy Lisbon initiative that brings together students from the University of Birmingham and six Portuguese universities to simulate a high-level meeting of NATO's North Atlantic Council.
Afterwards, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh visited Batalha Monastery in Batalha to mark the 640th anniversary of the Treaty of Windsor. The Duke laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, while the Duchess laid flowers at the tomb of King John I of Portugal and Queen Philippa of Lancaster. The King and Queen are buried at Batalha Monastery.
