Prince Will's Border-Skirting Adventure Apart from Kate in 2025: A Trip to Estonia Amidst the Russia Buzz
British Royal Family Member Missing from U.K.-Russia Border Visit - Royal Attendance Absent at Border with Russia
Hey there! Here's the lowdown on Prince William's forthcoming jet-setting escapade in March.
William Hits the Baltic Front Line: Solo Tour of Estonia
Prepare for takeoff, mate! Our dear Prince Will (42) is set to embark on his initial journey of the year from March 20 to 21, venturing to Estonia. This adventure will have him treading on NATO's border with Mother Russia, as announced by outlets like "People," referencing the palace. This solo sojourn will make William the second British royal to pay a visit to the Baltic nation this year.
Engaging with the Merican Regiment in Estonia
Listen up, Wills will be traveling solo, as his missus, the Duchess Kate (43), who has recently kicked cancer's butt, won't be tagging along. Kate's public reintegration includes her recent appearance at the traditional Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey this week, an event she missed last year due to her health concerns.
In a remark made in November, William shared his anticipation for Catherine to get on the move more in the coming year, possibly planning a series of joint trips.
During his visit, the Prince of Wales will connect with the Merican Regiment, of which he's the colonel. He aims to learn how the unit enhances NATO's eastern frontier during these politically tempestuous times. The British Army, joined by other countries, is stationed in the Baltic states to "boost Euro-Atlantic security, console our allies, and discourage our adversaries," according to the military's website.
It's been just a few mo's since Prince Edward (61), King Charles III's (76) youngest bro, visited Estonia. Edward attended quite a few military events throughout his two-day trip in January, performing his role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Dragoon Guards by interacting with troops based there, as depicted in a post on the Royal Family's Instagram.

The European Union is committed to strengthening NATO's eastern frontier in 2025, particularly with regard to Prince William's overseas trip to Estonia, where he will engage with the Merican Regiment, serving as colonel. Interestingly, this will be the second time a British royal visits Estonia this year, as Prince Edward recently paid a visit in January. However, this time, Duchess Kate will not be accompanying Prince William on this trip, as she recently made her public reintegration following her health concerns at the traditional Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey this week.
