King Charles has given his beloved wife, Queen Camilla, a new honour and helped her make history by making her the ‘first Patron of the Rifleman’s Association’.
The announcement was made by Buckingham Palace on its official social media account, announcing that Camilla had received the new title.
The association is an organization dedicated to supporting active and former riflemen and their families and promoting ties to the regiment.
The palace shared a snap of the Queen and stated: “The Queen has become the first Patron of the Rifleman’s Association.”
“The organisation offers active and former riflemen of all ranks and their families a forum to stay connected with the regiment and offer friendship, support and assistance.
“Formed in 2007, the Rifles are the largest infantry regiment in the British Army,” they added. “Her Majesty became Colonel of the @rifles_regiment in 2020, succeeding the late Duke of Edinburgh.”
Queen Camilla has been Colonel of the Rifles since 2020, a position previously held by the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
