Kate Middleton rocks camo, drives armored truck in new royal military role

The Princess of Wales visited 1st Queen’s Dragoon Guards for the first time Wednesday after she was appointed the regiment's colonel-in-chief last summer by King Charles III.

Kate Middleton was decked out in camouflage and a helmet while visiting an Army regiment in Norfolk County, England. 

The Princess of Wales was recently named colonel-in-chief of 1st the Queen’s Dragoon Guards, after King Charles III appointed her last summer. Charles was the regiment’s previous colonel-in-chief when he was Prince of Wales. 

During her Wednesday visit, the 41-year-old drove an armored vehicle and flew a reconnaissance drone.

Corporal Darreyl Tukana, who drove with the mother of three in the seven-ton machine gun-equipped Jackal 2 high mobility weapons platform, said the princess seemed to be "enjoying" herself as she drove back from a trip to see weapons in a troop hide. 

"She was a natural. She drives a Land Rover back at home — I told her it’s exactly the same, just take it slowly and go back to where we started off from," Tukana said, according to the Independent. "She was enjoying every bit of the journey itself."

While Kate was suited up in military gear, her husband Prince William was mingling with celebrities at the third annual Earthshot Prize Awards, in Singapore. 

He hit the red carpet with stars like Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett, "Ted Lasso" star Hannah Waddingham and "This Is Us" star Sterling K. Brown, who co-hosted the event.
