Prince Charles met with a number of wounded soldiers in Scotland on Wednesday (12.06.13).
The British royal - the heir to the throne - toured the Edinburgh House military personnel recovery centre and spoke to many servicemen and women recovering from injuries, including Paul Lambert who lost both his legs and suffered other injuries when he toured Afghanistan in 2009.
The Prince of Wales - known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland - and Paul spoke in detail about the courses and help provided by the centre and the 32 year old praised the work of the facility.
Paul - who served eight years in the British Army - told the Daily Record newspaper: "Today he was asking me how my rehab was getting on and how my prosthetic legs were coming on.
"When I get out of the army I want to work with the Prince's Trust. I want to work with kids who have been either injured, have had cancer or meningitis, and who have lost limbs. When I told him he said, 'Very good.' It's good for the centre to have him here."
Edinburgh House is the only residential recovery centre for serving soldiers in Scotland and it is run with the Ministry of Defence and charity The Royal British Legion.
Mark Steed, who is the commanding officer of the centre, insisted Charles' visit gave everyone at the facility a boost and praised the commitment of the 64-year-old royal - whose sons Prince William and Prince Harry are in the armed forces - to Britain's military men and women.
Mark said: "The Prince of Wales is a massive patron of the armed forces at large but particularly those who are injured, wounded or sick, so I think it was a massively significant visit for those individuals who use the recovery centre and great to see him here ... He made a point of speaking to everyone in some depth, which was great."
