Duchess Sophie visits troops at Warcop Training Centre

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, made a notable visit to the Warcop Training Centre in Cumbria as part of her role as Royal Honorary Colonel of The Queen’s Own Yeomanry. Dressed in military camouflage gear, protective eyewear, and practical footwear, she observed a live firing exercise and interacted with the troops, reinforcing the Royal Family's connection to the Armed Forces. The Duchess, who has previously visited British Army Reservists in Germany, expressed enthusiasm for the capabilities of the reserve force. Her outfit, which included a camo jacket, grey skinny jeans, and chocolate brown boots, was both functional and stylish for the outdoor environment. The visit was well-received by supporters, showcasing her commitment to her honorary military role. The Queen's Own Yeomanry, established in 1971, plays a crucial intelligence-gathering role within the Army Reserve.
