Duchess of Cornwall visits Egyptian horse and donkey hospital on final day of royal tour

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Duchess of Cornwall visits Egyptian horse and donkey hospital on final day of royal tour” – below is their description.

The Duchess of Cornwall has visited the site of an animal sanctuary for horses and donkeys which was founded with the help of Daily Telegraph

readers.

In 1931, the wife of an Army officer was so horrified to find Britain’s loyal war horses working into old age on the streets of Egypt that she wrote to The Telegraph pleading with its readers for help.

The result was £20,000 in donations and a refuge for 5,000 of those horses saved from suffering and ending their lives in peace.
