The Princess of Wales visited the West Sussex Minibus service in Pulborough to mark the organization’s 50th anniversary. The volunteer-led service provides essential transportation for elderly and isolated residents, helping them access shopping, medical appointments, and community social events.

During the engagement, the Princess boarded a minibus to assist with passenger pickups, including a visit to 94-year-old Stella Drewett. Following the route, the Princess joined the passengers at the Pulborough Village Hall for a weekly lunch club. While interacting with guests, she shared personal anecdotes about her family life, noting that she and Prince William share household chores, with her handling the washing and him managing the drying.

Observers also noted the Princess’s fashion choices for the autumn outing, which featured a monochrome grey ensemble accented with burgundy accessories. Additionally, during her interactions, she spoke candidly about her tendency toward forgetfulness, mentioning how she occasionally misplaces items like her handbag or phone.
