Maybe there is something here too. It was a little elitist when I was a growing up in the 80s. It's international too. I imagine he had ulterior motives for it!

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (commonly abbreviated DofE),[1] is a youth awards programme founded in the United Kingdom in 1956 by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, that has since expanded to 144 nations. The awards recognise adolescents and young adults for completing a series of self-improvement exercises modelled on Kurt Hahn's solution to the "Six Declines of Modern Youth".

Thank you for bringing up the DoE Award. Prince Edward has long taken over patronage of that scheme. The general public seems to have the opinion that he and his wife Sophie are the 'good' royals. But they are also involved with charities and NGOs that seem to be fronts for 'other' operations:

FBI raids home of DC Council Member Jack Evans. He represents Ward 2 - that includes Dupont Circle. Oh, here he is at the Septime Webre Farewell Party...
