"Their Royal Highnesses planted a magnolia tree in the Botanical Gardens before visiting the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development's 'Living Mountain Lab'. There, they witnessed directly how professionals are assisting Nepal and the greater Himalaya in adapting to the climate problem," the Palace stated.

"At the Gurkha Welfare Trust's Area Welfare Centre in Kaski, Their Royal Highnesses met former Gurkhas and their families, learning about the facilities and care at the Residential Home," according to the report.

"In Pokhara, The Duke and Duchess attended the Recruit Intake 2025 Attestation Parade, honouring the deep, 200+ year partnership between the UK and Nepal and the remarkable service of the Gurkhas in the British Army."

The revelation follows allegations from royal insiders revealing King Charles' plans to offer Edward and Sophie's children significant positions in the future. According to sources, Prince William may also consider honoring Sophie and Edward for their loyalties to the monarchy.
