The Duchess of Gloucester will make an official visit to Bermuda in October.

As Colonel-in-Chief of the Bermuda Regiment, she will attend the Bermuda Tattoo as part of the regiment’s 50th anniversary and visit headquarters at Warwick Camp.

During her time on the Island, between October 23 and 25, the Duchess will visit Windreach Bermuda and attend a briefing given by Family Centre and the charity Saving Children and Revealing Secrets (Scars).

The Duchess, whose royal assignments have included visiting Basra seven years ago to check on British troops during fighting in Iraq, will also see the America’s Cup facilities during the third leg of the World Series, which will be held in Bermuda.

Government House announced the news today and said further details would be made available nearer the time of the visit.
