The Princess of Wales was recently named colonel-in-chief of 1st the Queen’s Dragoon Guards, after King Charles III appointed her last summer. Charles was the regiment’s previous colonel-in-chief when he was Prince of Wales.
During her Wednesday visit, the 41-year-old drove an armored vehicle and flew a reconnaissance drone.

"She was a natural. She drives a Land Rover back at home — I told her it’s exactly the same, just take it slowly and go back to where we started off from," Tukana said, according to the Independent. "She was enjoying every bit of the journey itself."
