  Duchess of Gloucester quietly follows Palace orders to support King Charles

Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, has proven her loyalty to the throne as she put aside her personal engagements and stepped up to support the monarch in times of crisis.

The royal family has been reeling over the onslaught of damaging headlines about Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, which led to King Charles, on the insistence of Prince William, took a major step to protect the monarchy. Advertisement

Following the bombshell announcement of Andrew on Friday last week – relinquishing the use of his titles as the posthumous memoir of his accuser Virginia Giuffre was set to be dropped. Per the statement, the move had been made as the allegations against him had been “distracting” from the work of the royal family.

Ironically, Andrew and his disgrace still continues to make major headlines, the coverage for key royal events being pushed under the radar.

The 79-year-old had been one of them as she undertook an official visit to Bermuda, on behalf of the King and Queen. Even though her visit was a low-key five-day trip, it was a vital one organised at the behest of the Palace.

The Duchess, who is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Bermuda Regiment, marked 60th anniversary of the regiment. She also made several other engagements, quietly abiding by her duty, whether she was surrounded by fanfare or not.

Buckingham Palace also did not yet share highlights from her visit.

The royal proved herself as a dependable and loyal member, someone the King can rely on especially as he deals with grave matters at hand.
Who is the Duchess of Gloucester?

The Danish-born, Birgitte, is the wife of Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who is the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. Hence, she is the aunt of Charles and great-aunt of Prince William and Prince Harry.

She has earned the reputation as one of the most dedicated members of the royal family as she performed over five decades of service, first for the late Queen, now carries on her loyalties for King Charles.

A similar approach has been taken by her brother-in-law Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, and his late wife, Katharine, Duchess of Kent.
