The Duchess of Cornwall has been Royal Colonel of 4th Battalion The Rifles since 2007, and will continue to hold the position. In this time, Camilla has hosted audiences with incoming and outgoing Commanding Officers and carried out regular engagements in support of the Battalion.
The Duchess supported the Battalion during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, writing to next of kin, sending letters to the injured, and meeting families – as well as the traditional medals parades.
Most recently, Camilla visited New Normandy Barracks in May 2019 to present service medals and meet members of the Battalion and their families.
