The Royal family is known for it support of the farming industry so I was expecting a sympathetic, rather than challenging, speech from the Countess of Wessex as she opened the Royal Show.
Instead came the stark message that farmers must “move with the times”, because if they don’t foreign farmers will. She also said retailers are changing their attitudes and are doing much to support British farming.
It was all a bit of a surprise.

Hi Isabel,
The Countess of Wessex - she hardly has a track record of business success. Not sure her advice would be valued in other industries, so why is she a figurehead for the agricultural sector?
regards
Ed
