The Duchess of Cornwall’s protection team are a force to be reckoned with.
Camilla Parker-Bowles hired an all-female security detail during her recent visit to the United Arab Emirates when she travelled to the region as part of a tour to promote religious tolerance and female empowerment.
The Duchess of Cornwall, who was visiting Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain with her husband Prince Charles, was spotted walking around with her all-female protection team made up of five women.

The women, Shaima al Kaabi, Basima al Kaabi, Nisreen al Hamawi, Salama al Remeithi, and Hannan al Hatawi form part of the 50 members of the UAE presidential guard.
While the ladies might not look that threatening, they have been trained in martial arts, and reportedly carry hidden weapons under their hijabs and abayas, in case of attack.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Camilla praised the “remarkable” woman who had looked after her during her stay in Abu Dhabi.
‘I have never had four women looking after me [and] they are the most incredible women. The first one had climbed Everest. I said, ‘How long did it take?’ and she said 16 days! It’s quite remarkable,’ she added.
