The Duchess of Gloucester visited Bermuda to attend the 60th anniversary celebrations of the Royal Bermuda Regiment (RBR), where she serves as Colonel-in-Chief. Bermuda is a self-governing British Overseas Territory in the western North Atlantic Ocean. It consists of seven main islands and about 170 smaller islets. Upon her arrival, the Duchess was welcomed by Governor Andrew Murdoch and other government officials.
The Duchess of Gloucester, accompanied by Governor Andrew Murdoch, visited and learned about the many programmes at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS), a division of Arizona State University. The Duchess then visited Hope Academy. Afterwards, she visited the National Museum of Bermuda (NMB), a non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation.
As Colonel-in-Chief, the Duchess of Gloucester took part in the Trooping of the Colours to commemorate the Royal Bermuda Regiment's 60th anniversary and presented service medals to soldiers. While in Bermuda, the Duchess will also take part in several engagements highlighting Bermuda’s rich heritage, and commitment to environmental stewardship.
