Prince Edward meets Royal Navy and RFA personnel deployed on Gulf mission

Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Royal Navy personnel currently deployed to Bahrain have been treated to a rare royal visit from the Duke of Edinburgh.

Prince Edward, the Commodore-in-Chief of the RFA, spent several hours talking to the men and women who are taking part in Operation Kipion – the UK's effort to maintain peace and stability in the Gulf.

He spent time on board the RFA ship Cardigan Bay as well as HMS Middleton, which is one of the three minehunters that are stationed there.
