The Earl of St Andrews visits Princess Marina Hospital

His visit to the hospital was made in memory of his grandmother, Princess Marina who passed on in 1968 after her last visit to Botswana two years earlier in 1966. According to his Executive Aide, Fozia Uddin, The Earl at the time of his grandma’s passing was only six years old. “His brief visit to Princess Marina helped him to honor his grandmother as well as appreciate Botswana for keeping her legacy. He is truly humbled,” she revealed.

The Earl was on a week-long visit to Lesotho and Botswana, where he attended the 2019 IDM graduation ceremony and conferred degrees and awarded postgraduate diplomas to over 45 graduates.
