Colonel-in-Chief of the Mercian Regiment, Prince William was on hand in Estonia last week to see the Mercians take over from the Royal Dragoon Guards for Operation CABRIT which strengthens defences of Europe’s eastern flank alongside Estonian partners and NATO allies.

Prince William is also the Earl of Chester and Princess Catherine is the Countess of Chester. The Earldom of Chester was one of the most powerful Earldoms in medieval England.
