Princess Anne, daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, has once again demonstrated her commitment to the Crown and her dedication to service.
In 2024, the Princess hopes to hold the record for being the hardest working member of the British Royal Family.
Unlike other members of the royal family, she has not yet fully returned to public duties after the Christmas holidays.
Princess Anne in Sri Lanka
Princess Anne began the year with an official visit to Sri Lanka with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
One of the details that did not go unnoticed, however, is that the couple arrived in the Asian country on a SriLankan Airlines commercial flight, surprising everyone by carrying their own suitcases both on board and off the plane.
Images of Princess Anne and Sir Tim carrying their luggage went viral on social media, with netizens praising their simplicity and humility.
Some have even compared his attitude to that of other royals who travel with a large number of staff members and bodyguards.
Princess Anne and Sir Tim’s visit to Sri Lanka will last three days, during which they will undertake a number of official duties.
Activities on the first day included a visit to an advanced technology textile factory, the Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital and Save The Children Sri Lanka.
Princess Anne has been President of Save The Children UK since 1970 and has visited several countries to support the charity’s work.
She is also patron or president of more than 300 organizations, reflecting her wide-ranging interest in a variety of social, cultural and sporting causes.
Princess Anne is regarded as one of the most respected and popular members of the British Royal Family for her dedication, professionalism and closeness to the people.
Her visit to Sri Lanka is yet another example of her tireless and exemplary work in the service of her country and the world.
