THE Duchess of Cambridge has written to Anmer Women’s Institute on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk about joining the group.
It’s really no surprise for a new mum in an area she might not know well to want to join this excellent organisation.
Those dismissing the WI as “just jam and Jerusalem” seriously undervalue a group of women whose meetings and ethos is relevant to the world today.
They not only have interesting speakers at their meetings and go to a variety of events but also involve themselves in issues of the day – and their views are heeded by Government.
