The prince meets with country’s president Alar Karis before travelling to visit Nato forces guarding the Russian border
The Prince of Wales has arrived in Estonia for the start of a twoday visit to bolster ties with Tallinn and show support for UK troops guarding Nato’s border with Russia.
Prince William began his trip yesterday by sitting down for talks in the capital Tallinn with Estonia’s president, Alar Karis, who has been prominent among those giving military equipment and political support to Ukraine.
William is travelling to Estonia predominantly in his role as colonel-in-chief of the Mercian Regiment, which is taking over Nato defence duties in the country from the Royal Dragoon Guards.
Today, the royal will travel to attend a handover ceremony at the Tapa army base, which houses the UK’s largest permanent overseas deployment. There are around 800 British service personnel in total in Estonia.
