Earlier in the day, Edward and Sophie toured Villa Guardamangia in the outskirts of the Maltese capital Valletta and heard about restoration work taking place on the now dilapidated building.

The late Queen and Philip lived there between 1949 and 1951 while the prince was stationed in Malta as a serving Royal Navy officer.
