Duchess of Cambridge pays tribute to 'brave men and women' of the military

The Duchess of Cambridge has paid tribute to the military on Armed Forces Day 2022.

In a series of posts on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Twitter account, Kate wrote: "Today on #ArmedForcesDay, William and I would like to pay tribute to the brave men and women, past and present, serving in all of our Armed Forces, at sea, on land and in the air, here in the UK and around the world."

Her tribute to the military has been accompanied by Kensington Palace releasing a series of images of the Duchess of Cambridge to mark Armed Forces Day.

The Duchess' tribute referenced her time at Pirbright last year, where she learned about how service personnel and new recruits are trained.
