The hardest-working royal makes the King proud during Singapore visit
Princess Anne earned fresh praise for a thoughtful gesture during her recent
trip to Singapore, where she marked 60 years of diplomatic relations between
the United Kingdom and the country.
While visiting the National Orchid Garden, she viewed a plant named after King
Charles and Queen Camilla that had been placed beside one honouring the late
Princess Diana. According to The Times, if Anne had any thoughts about this
choice, she kept them to herself, quietly steering clear of any debate around
the display.
Buckingham Palace later shared details of the trip, noting that Anne and her
husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, met both the President and the Prime
Minister of Singapore and paid their respects at the Kranji War Memorial. Anne
also unveiled a new potted orchid called Delphinium Anne and learned about
production work at the Rolls-Royce Seletar Campus.
Her steady approach and long-standing commitment to public duty continue to
make a strong impression. Earlier this year, King Charles marked her 75th
birthday with a touching tribute: a newly minted coin featuring her portrait,
a nod to her decades of dedication to the monarchy.
