Prince William, 36, spent Thursday in Scotland for a series of engagements honoring the contributions of Scottish people across professions and industries. One of the events he attended was the Annual Service of Commemoration at the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle.

The event was held to remember those who died in conflicts from 1914. For the occasion, he wore an official military uniform and was joined by Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon.

There he presented a medal to Professor Richard Henderson. The Professor’s “electron microscopy has resulted in new treatments for several serious diseases and saving lives,” according to Kensington Palace.

In 2017, Professor Henderson won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. William also honored Dr. Thea Musgraves who is one of the most accomplished Scottish composers, and David Climie, a renowned bridge builder.

William was traveling again barely a week after returning from his historic Middle East tour. His wife, Duchess Kate, is still on maternity leave.

She was unable to make either trip.
