The Princess of Wales visited the barracks in Norfolk for the first time as the Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment.

The Princess of Wales swapped formal clothes for military combat gear as she took the wheel of a seven-tonne armoured vehicle equipped with a machine gun on her first visit to the Queen's Dragoon Guards. Camouflaged from head to waist, helmet included, Kate was described as 'a natural' as she drove the Jackal 2 vehicle around the barracks in Dereham, Norfolk.

She was also presented with the Queen's Dragoon Guards brooch, which was made in 1959 for the Queen Mother, who also served as Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment. She awarded Medals for Long Service and Good Conduct and took a moment to remember soldiers lost in active service ahead of Remembrance Sunday.
