Camilla stays in the saddle

THE Duchess of Rothesay is to extend her patronage of the Scottish National Equestrian Centre, on the Oatridge College campus in West Lothian, for a further five years.

News that the duchess was “delighted” to remain as patron of the centre until at least February 2017 came in a letter from Clarence House to the principal of Oatridge College, David James.

The duchess became patron of the centre in January 2007.

Mr James said: “We are deeply honoured that Her Royal Highness has decided to continue as patron of the SNEC.”
