Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, encounters Jonathan, the world's oldest living land animal at 191, on St Helena. Jonathan, a giant tortoise, arrived from the Seychelles in 1882 and celebrated his 191st birthday last December. The duke's visit marks a historic moment, with Jonathan having been seen by Edward's grandparents and late mother during past royal visits. The small island celebrates a public holiday for the royal visit, including events such as airport opening, wildlife conservation discussions, and community interactions during the four-day stay.
