The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were warmly welcomed during their recent visit to Porto, where they continued a centuries-old tradition of royal engagement with one of the city’s most historic Anglo-Portuguese institutions.
Churchill’s Port revealed that Prince Edward and Sophie were invited to lunch at the iconic Factory House, a landmark long associated with the British port trade and the enduring relationship between the United Kingdom and Portugal.
The royal couple were welcomed by Churchill’s co-CEOs, Ben Himowitz and Zoe Graham, who received Their Royal Highnesses in their capacity as Treasurer and Board Member of the British Association.
Churchill’s described the occasion as “a day to remember”, not only for those at Factory House but also for the British member houses who continue to promote the Douro Valley and its world-renowned Port wines on the international stage.
