Duchess of Cornwall attends The Rifles Awards Dinner in London

The Duchess of Cornwall attended The Rifles Awards Dinner in central London on Wednesday evening.

Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles, Camilla, 74, was joined by the Countess of Wessex at the glamorous event at the City of London Guildhall.

She looked elegant in a floor-length, black dress paired with standout jewellery while the Countess, whose role is Royal Colonel, wore a bright blue maxi gown.

The Duchess and Countess were joined at the biennial occasion by the Queen‘s first cousins the Duke of Kent and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Camilla looked happy and chatted with people as she arrived at the reception for members, veterans and specially invited guests.

During the dinner she delivered a speech to guests.

In July 2020, The Duchess of Cornwall took over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles from her father-in-law, The Duke of Edinburgh during two ceremonies at Highgrove and Windsor Castle.

The Duchess of Cornwall made her first visit to The Rifles headquarters in September.

The Rifles were formed in February 2007, following the merger of four celebrated infantry Regiments - The Devonshire and Dorset Light Infantry; The Light Infantry; The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Light Infantry; and The Royal Green Jackets.

Forged during the campaigns of Iraq and Afghanistan, they are now the largest infantry regiment in the British Army. Their motto is: ‘Swift and Bold.’
