Coach Edward! Duke of Edinburgh talks to young footballers during a visit to a British school in Jakarta

Prince Edward took to the field during a school visit in Indonesia – and appeared to share his tips with the young footballers during their training.

The youngest sibling of King Charles – who was named the Duke of Edinburgh after the death of their father Prince Philip – is currently visiting Indonesia, the final destination of his Asia-Pacific tour.

It is also the country where the international award was first introduced in 1993.

Later in the day, the 59-year-old royal gave an impassioned speech at the awards ceremonies while standing on a podium.

He was also keen to chat with pupils playing football outside, embracing the active spirit of the award.

It is understood that Edward will not only celebrate this year’s award winners, but also meet alumni and see their positive impact in action.

Snaps also showed the Duke chatting with the Director David Butcher, as he explores the facility.

The British School Jakarta was originally founded in 1974, with support from the British Embassy.

According to the website, the school now has more than 1,400 students from about 50 countries.

Earlier this week Edward was too busy in Australia, as part of his work at the Duke of Edinburgh reward system, such as hosted a ceremony at the Police Citizens Youth Club in the nation’s capital.

Located in the Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo, the PCYC partnered with the Duke of Edinburgh Award to host the event’s guests and organizers.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award aims to help young people, but also aims to connect them with opportunities that have a positive impact on the issues they care about.

The Prince’s three-day visit got off to a lively start as he greeted the various young people and guests present at the event, while also honoring the winners of the award.

The dutiful monarch addressed the guests with a speech, which he delivered on behalf of the international award ceremony.

As part of the presentation, he presented Jessica Clark with a Gold Award as the pair chatted and shook hands.

The royal family continued their way around the grounds, making sure to spend time with everyone in attendance at the special event.

Among the many guests was 27-year-old Marusha Rowe, winner of the 2022 Duke of Edinburgh Award gold medal, who stopped to greet the prince.

And the start of his more playful duties was a light-hearted sparring session with 21-year-old Marlon Sevehon of the PCYC youth boxing program.

The Duke was also pictured happily holding a large punching bag for Marlon as he practiced his boxing skills as the two got to know each other.

Elsewhere, from a boxing ring, he appeared engrossed in friendly conversation with other boxers and program representatives.

Meanwhile, he earlier greeted esteemed guest Cameron Smart, the acting national chairman of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, before finally leaving for the day.

He officially took over honors duties in 2023, two years after the death of the former Duke of Edinburgh’s late father Prince Philip.

Prince Edward himself is a passionate patron of the award, having achieved his own Gold Award in 1986.
