On the last day of their three-day trip to Poland, today, March 17, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall met Polish soldiers on their way to Afghanistan. The royal couple traveled to Wesola to meet Poland's 1st Armoured Brigade. They witnessed a mock ambush and gunfight which had Camilla sticking fingers in her ears against the noise, to the apparent amusement of Prince Charles.
The Prince and Duchess met families of those going to Afghanistan; the couple reportedly had some sympathy for the long separation since Prince Harry and Prince William are both in the military; Prince Harry, who recently passed his helicopter training, is considered likely to return to Afghanistan.
Prince Charles also talked to a sniper wearing white clothing as disguise against the snow. Poland has had troops in Afghanistan since 2002 and now has over 2,600 soldiers in the Middle Eastern country. Before they left, the couple was presented with a coffee table book about Poland.
After the military visit, the Royals toured Poland's Royal Castle, destroyed by the Nazis and completely rebuilt between 1971 and 1984. They have now flown to Hungary in time for a state dinner and the next three-day leg of their tour.
