EBN-Princess Anne has been less active since she fell from a horse and suffered a terrible injury. King Charles’ sister was a constant source of energy and was always present at royal responsibilities, but her visits are now limited. Despite this, Anne was eager to fill in for her brother at one of the royal events because he was preoccupied.
Princess Anne attends the investiture ceremony.
Last night, Princess Anne, 74, represented the king at an investiture ceremony at Edinburgh’s Palace of Holyroodhouse.Princess Anne presented honors to honorees at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland, dressed in her traditional navy uniform adorned with gold. This was the first investiture ceremony of the year. The official Twitter account shared photos of the event, congratulating all those honored, including sports stars.
Charles was visiting as honorary aircraft carrier commander, the first time in nearly 40 years that a monarch has visited a Royal Navy warship at sea. His trip came during the final stages of intensive training for the crew before they set sail for Japan on a mission to deepen ties with the UK and promote security and stability.
Princess Anne speaks out about retiring from royal duties
Following her recent recovery from a temporary memory loss, there has been speculation that the Princess Royal is considering retirement, something she made clear during her recent visit to South Africa in January.
In a new interview with the Press Association during her two-day visit to South Africa, Princess Anne denied that she has retired from her royal roles, as she has no plans to reduce her royal duties and responsibilities in the coming years. The princess told the British Press Agency: “I don’t think there is a retirement programme in this life itself,” and when asked about the idea of reducing responsibilities, she said: “I don’t think so.”
From here, it is clear that Princess Anne will follow in the footsteps of her parents; Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip , as Prince Philip retired at the age of 96 in 2017, after spending decades as a working member of the royal family, while Queen Elizabeth did not officially retire until her death, and her last engagement was her meeting with the then-former Prime Minister Liz Truss, on September 6, 2022, two days before her death on September 8, at the age of 96
