Association of Marshall Scholars<\/span><\/div>\nThe Prince and the president’s meeting comes ahead of President Obama’s state visit to the UK later this month.<\/p>\n
The prince, who is an honorary patron of the Association of Marshall Scholars, met former beneficiaries of the scholarships during a visit hosted by Supreme Court associate justice Stephen Breyer, who studied under the scheme at Oxford University’s Magdalen College.<\/p>\n
The British project, established by an act of parliament in 1953, funds Americans to study at UK universities in recognition of the post-war European recovery programme, known as the Marshall Plan.<\/p>\n
William Coquillette, president of the Association of Marshall Scholars, said it was “very significant” to have the prince’s presence, particularly just a few days after millions of American TV viewers tuned in to watch the wedding of his eldest son Prince William.<\/p>\n
He said of Prince Charles: “Obviously he’s a very prominent figure in the public eye and to have his attention and support is very important.<\/p>\n
“It’s only three or four days since we were transfixed with the royal wedding so to have him here is a special treat,” he said.<\/p>\n
Charles will attend a reception to celebrate the work of a British body and its US counterpart which organise morale boosting events for troops. The prince will also meet injured US servicemen and women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
