The Princess of Wales has said she is ‘looking forward’ to working with the UK’s new chief scout, Dwayne Fields.
In a personal message on X, Kate, who is joint president of the Scout Association, gave a warm welcome to Mr Fields.
She wrote: ‘Delighted to welcome @DwayneFields as the new UK chief scout.
‘The Scouts is such an incredible organisation, teaching #SkillsForLife and making a huge difference to young people across the country.
‘Looking forward to working with you! C’

Earlier this summer, Kate made an appearance at Wimbledon, where she presented trophies to players.
The audience welcomed her with a standing ovation, in a moving display of support following her cancer diagnosis.
This marked Kate’s second public appearance of the year. She was accompanied by sister Pippa Middleton and daughter Princess Charlotte.
In the latest update about her health in June, Kate said she was ‘blown away’ by the support of the public.

She added that while she is making good progress, her treatment is still ongoing and will be continuing for a few months.
She continued: ‘I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.
‘On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to
your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.
‘My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.’
