Duchess Of Edinburgh Pays Tribute To Daphne Caruana Galizia At Valletta Makeshift Memorial
The Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie has just paid tribute to assassinated Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, laying flowers at her makeshift memorial as a royal visit saw her and the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Edward arrive in Valletta.
“There, she met with the journalist’s family to discuss the work of the @daphne.foundation which they set up in her honour,” the British Commission in Malta wrote on social media, sharing a photo of Her Royal Highness in the capital this afternoon. The Caruana Galizia family was also seen accompanying Duchess Sophie down the Valletta main road.

“Thank you for doing what our own country’s leaders do not,” Occupy Justice Malta told the duchess, resharing the photo.
The royal couple is currently in Malta as part of the island’s 60th anniversary celebrations of its independence.
Caruana Galizia was murdered nearly seven years ago, on 16th October 2017.
