Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has met with the British Olympic equestrian team.
Camilla - who is married to Britain's Prince Charles - is Patron of the British Equestrian Foundation (BEF), and met British team members at Hartpury College, near Gloucester.
She enjoyed a tour of the college's new arena before hosting a reception for team members, medics and sponsors.
After a speech from Toby Vintcent, director of international affairs for the British Equestrian Foundation, the duchess gave the team some words of encouragement.
I wish everybody the best of British. So sit tight, and show the world that the British are best and come back with lots of medals.
She said: "I wish everybody the best of British. So sit tight, and show the world that the British are best and come back with lots of medals."
Team member Jane Gregory said the royal visit was "very special".
She added: "We've been enjoying our international success so much and never dared to hope we would be in contention for an Olympic team position.
