It’s been a busy March so far for the Princess of Wales, following a lively February, and an active January. Last Thursday she was at a Muslim centre in Hayes, west London, paying tribute to fundraisers for the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria, and the day before on exercises with the Irish Guards on Salisbury Plain.
The visits presented two superficially contrasting images – one in headscarf, the other in army camouflage – but she could equally have been attending a space station and a yoga centre, and would no doubt have produced the same picture of smiling earnestness.
