William meets female footballers on Saudi Arabia visit

Prince William toured conservation sites and met local farmers during his historic trip amid renewed scrutiny of allegations involving his uncle, Prince Andrew, police said.

  • On Monday, the Prince of Wales completed a historic three-day first visit to Saudi Arabia, meeting farmers at AlUla's Oasis and Eco-Gardening Farm and holding an unusually large sweet lemon before boarding at AlUla Airport.
  • The trip occurred amid renewed attention to the Jeffrey Epstein files as Prince Andrew faces increased scrutiny from allegations by Virginia Giuffre, which he denies.
  • On Wednesday, William spent much of the morning at Sharaan Nature Reserve in AlUla province learning about reintroducing native animals like the Arabian leopard and admired the Dancing Rocks in Raggasat Valley.
  • Hours after William's trip ended, Thames Valley Police said it held discussions with CPS specialists about allegations linked to Prince Andrew, and Kensington Palace said it was 'deeply concerned by the continued revelations'.
  • The trip highlighted conservation and agricultural initiatives, including traditional farming methods and plans to reintroduce the Arabian leopard, positioning it as a diplomatic cultural and environmental engagement.
