The Countess of Wessex has told how she completely lost her train of thought on an official engagement while trying to cope with the menopause. 'When we’re told that we’re going to begin our periods, are we told that they’re going to end as well? ‘The menstrual cycle, periods, the menopause, having babies... We all talk about having babies but nobody talks about periods; nobody talks about the menopause. Why not?’Her comments came during a video call to mark her new role as patron of the women’s health charity Wellbeing Of Women. The Countess has been the royal patron of British Wheelchair Basketball since 2013, and has attended several games like this one throughout her patronage.
