King Charles’ sister Princess Anne took on important duties at Buckingham Palace as the monarch left for a three-day visit to Northern Ireland.
The 75-year-old previously said she wanted to go out in her boots. She has proven time and time again that she is the hardest working royal in the family.
Continuing the tradition of Garden Parties, Anne was accompanied by her husband Sir Tim Laurence to host the Not Forgotten Association’s annual party.
During this event dedicated to recreation and support for ex-military personnel, Anne received important advice.
Second World War veteran Robert Piper urged the Princess Royal to “slow down”.
“I told her, you know, she needs to slow down,” the veteran revealed of his conversation. “She’s been doing it for so many years and she’s a pro, she knows all the answers before you do.”
Other guests congratulated Anne, who is the godmother of the Not Forgotten association, among other guests.
“You brought the sunshine,” one guest joked about the weather. Anne laughed it off and said it “never had anything to do with me, I promise.”
Although King Charles led the number of royal engagements last year, he couldn’t help but admit during his visit to Bermuda earlier this month that it’s difficult to keep up with his sister since she’s “everywhere.”
