As Vice-Patron of the @RoyalCWSociety, The Duchess of Cornwall has joined the live final of the Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition via video link to congratulate winners and runners up from around the Commonwealth.

Founded in 1883, the competition aims to encourage expression and creativity through literacy among young people in the Commonwealth.

During a writing workshop at Tūranga Library in New Zealand last year, HRH announced ‘Climate Action and the Commonwealth’ as this year’s theme.

Congratulations to all of this year’s award winners!
