He has held talks at Buckingham Palace with the UK's Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Peter Bateman. It is understood that the Prince requested he be kept informed about developments in the country, and Mr Bateman asked for a meeting with him when the ambassador was in Britain last week.</p><div data-mpu1="true" class="sc-1048kfq-0 jZcooN"><div class="sc-1y9ieyw-0 hQjaQn mobile-only"><div class="sc-1pfx6hk-0 lgUbTS mobile-only"><div data-mpu="true" data-is-video="false" data-tile-name="mpu1" data-ad-unit-path="/71347885/_main_independent/in_news/in_uk/image/mpu1" data-size-key="DOUBLE_OR_SINGLE_MPU" data-refresh-check="false" data-refresh-ms="13000" class="sc-1pfx6hk-2 fUbSGV"></div></div></div></div><div id="article-im-prompt"></div><p>As is customary, the nature of the discussions will not be made public, but a Palace spokesperson confirmed that, while the Duke no longer has an official role in promoting British business, he is "of course, still interested in British business; especially small and medium-sized enterprises, science and technology and research and development."</p><div class="sc-w27hnf-3 gHNATZ desktop-only teads"><div class="sc-1y9ieyw-0 hQjaQn third-party-ad"><div class="sc-1pfx6hk-0 lgUbTS third-party-ad"><div data-mpu="true" data-is-video="false" data-tile-name="thirdparty01" data-ad-unit-path="/71347885/_partner_independent/in_news/in_uk/image/thirdparty01" data-size-key="THIRD_PARTY_ARTICLE_BODY_DESKTOP" data-refresh-check="false" data-refresh-ms="150000" class="sc-1pfx6hk-2 fUbSGV"></div></div></div></div><p>Critics of the Azerbaijani regime, of which there are many, hope that matters besides business were discussed.
