Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, presented medals to four soldiers who recently returned from serving in Iraq yesterday (14.0.08).
Camilla, the wife of Britain's Prince Charles, wore a combat jacket as she visited Wiltshire's 4th Battalion The Rifles where she watched a training exercise before presenting the medals and meeting the soldiers and their families.
The 60-year-old royal then joined soldiers in a 15-ton Bulldog armoured personnel carrier for a ride around the Bulford Camp.
Following the adrenaline-packed outing, Camilla said to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Seeing the men in action was a real privilege. I couldn't believe how fast we were going. And as for that personnel carrier - I thoroughly recommend it. A real adrenaline rush!"
Camilla attended the camp in her role as Royal Colonel of the 4th Battalion The Rifles - a position she accepted in 2006 - which requires her to meet personnel, receive regular briefings from the Commanding Officer and write letters to bereaved families and injured servicemen.
