Duchess of Gloucester returns to UK after crucial mission for King Charles
Palace assigns key role to Duchess of Gloucester amid royal family crisis
King Charles’s attention, along with his heir, Prince William, had recently been on handling a slew of crisis matters on an urgent basis.
As the monarch settled the matter, the Duchess of Gloucester had been assigned to take on an important task at the behest of the Palace to make sure key matters were not delayed or ignored in haste.
Danish-born Birgitte, who is married to the late Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, Prince Richard, had undertaken a royal visit to Bermuda as Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Bermuda Regiment.
The 79-year-old Duchess is a full-time working royal and had taken on a whopping 15 packed engagements in the duration of her five days, giving a tough competition to the hardest working royal of the family, Princess Anne.
On Monday, the royal was seen departing from L. F. Wade International Airport for the United Kingdom in Bermuda, to officially conclude her five-day visit.
The Duchess was welcomed in Bermuda by the Governor Andrew Murdoch CMG, as the royal arrived to celebrate and participate in the Royal Bermuda Regiment’s 60th Anniversary as their Colonel-in-Chief on Saturday.
Her stay included an engagement at the Masterworks Museum of Art in her capacity as its patron. On her final day, the royal participated in tree planting ceremony and met with Gombeys, (an iconic symbol of Bermuda, a cultural expression full of colourful and intricate masquerade, dance, and drumming), at the Government House.
