Why Princess Anne is still the hardest-working Royal Family member at the age of 73 | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

Princess Anne has more than once been named the official hardest-working member of the Royal Family, and if her January schedule is anything to go by it’s easy to see why. With King Charles and Princess Kate temporarily out of action due to their health concerns, and Prince William taking a step back to care for his family, other working royals are likely to take up extra duties in the next few weeks. In 2022 the Princess Royal was added to the list of Counsellors of State, meaning she can act on behalf of the King should be become incapacitated, with Queen Camilla and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh also being tipped for more royal obligations. Anne is known to schedule several commitments in a day, and was also the first royal to embark on a visit abroad just a few days into the New Year.

Princess Anne looked every inch the graceful royal she is yesterday as she donned an all-white ensemble during her visit to a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. The Princess Royal wore head-to-toe white, even down to her socks, before she arrived at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, as a mark of respect to the Buddhist faith. During day two of her official visit Anne, accompanied by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, travelled to the ancient place of worship in the central city of Kandy to pay her respects at the site, which is home to a tooth Buddhists believe is from their deity. Her helicopter even followed local protocol and avoided landing on a cricket wicket, as cricket in Sri Lanka is hugely popular. Her official car also kept off the wicket and whisked her a short distance to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Sri Lanka’s most significant Buddhist Temple. After removing her shoes, like all visitors, the princess was given a plate of jasmine flowers by a Buddhist …

Princess Anne is one the the most admired royals in the UK – and now she has a cool new nickname to match. The UK’s Princess Royal, 73, is loved in Britain and is famous for her no-nonsense attitude and her solid work ethic. All that was on show as she got off her flight to Sri Lanka earlier today – as the first UK royal to embark on an official overseas engagement this year. She looked effortless in a huge pair of retro Adidas sunglasses as she and husband Sir Timothy Laurence flew into Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayak to mark the start of their two-day visit.

That’s why the HRH Princess Royal, Princess Anne is a boss …

Zara Tindall and Princess Anne are more popular among the public than King Charles, a new poll has shown. The monarch’s sister and niece ranked higher than him as he came sixth in the latest popularity poll by YouGov. The Princess Royal came fourth with 64 percent, while her daughter ranked fifth with 54 percent, despite not being a working royal. Zara – who is known for being a professional equestrian – is married to ex-England rugby union player Mike Tindall. They share three children together, Mia, Lena and Lucas. Princess Anne on the other hand is still a firm favourite among the public and was also crowned the hardest-working royal of 2023 – carrying out a total of 457 engagements – the most out of anyone in the Royal Family.

Meanwhile, the late Queen Elizabeth …
