The Princess of Wales paid a visit to the 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards at Robertson Barracks on Wednesday. It marked the first time the royal has visited the regiment since King Charles III appointed his “beloved daughter-in-law” their Colonel-in-Chief back in August.
The visit on Nov. 8 gave Catherine an introduction to the regiment and the operations they carry out. The Princess, who sported a camo jacket and helmet, had the opportunity to experience elements of what operational life is like and even drive a Jackal 2 vehicle.
