  • Image shows Their Royal Highnesses Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex and Sophie, The Countess of Wessex flanked by Richard Lindsay, British High Commissioner to Brunei (left) and Sergeant Arjun, 2nd Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles as they arrive in Sungai Liang Training Area near Seria. His Royal Highness Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex, and Her Royal Highness Sophie, The Countess of Wessex, today visited British Forces Brunei (BFB). Their Royal Highnesses were in Brunei representing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei’s Golden Jubilee Celebrations. While there, they took the opportunity to pay a visit to the UK’s only permanent military post in the Far East. Their Royal Highnesses were flown into a rain-sodden jungle by helicopter. After donning standard army attire, they set foot in the dense undergrowth, guided by soldiers from 2nd Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR), with birds shrieking as the humidity hit 75 per cent. The Earl and Countess were first shown how the Gurkha troops track enemy combatants in the jungle through a combination of footprints and other tell-tale signs such as disturbed leaves and broken twigs. Their Royal Highnesses then walked a narrow, rocky path before seeing how the Gurkhas trap wild animals and birds for survival in the jungle and learning how the Nepalese soldiers build shelters, find and filter water as well as fuel for fire. The Royal jungle tour finished with a cooking demonstration by the Gurkhas. Prince Edward and Sophie sampled fruit plucked from nearby trees and talked to Nepalese soldiers about their experiences serving Queen and country. These include eight tours of Afghanistan between 2003 and 2016 as well as other trouble-spots across the world such as Sierra Leone, Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor. 06/10/2017.
