Prince Edward visited a cultural exhibition in Jakarta today as he continued his tour of Indonesia.

The country is the Duke of Edinburgh’s final stop on a lengthy visit to the Asia-Pacific region, which is part of his work for his eponymous award.

Today Prince Edward visited the ‘AlterMatter’ exhibition at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara, organized by the British Council Indonesia.

The royal, 59, was accompanied by Summer Xia, the director of the British Council’s South East Asia division, and the country director for Indonesia.

Earlier this week, so was Prince Edward busy in Australia, hosting 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.
