On April 14, 2021, Princess Anne visited the Royal Victoria Yacht Club in Cowes. Princess Anne met with members of the Royal Yacht Squadron on the Isle of Wight - the prestigious club the Duke of Edinburgh was once admiral of. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who died aged 99 on Friday, was Admiral of the Royal Yacht Squadron, patron of a number of clubs and president of the Royal Yachting Association.
This shows Anne's strength and love for her father. Takes great strength to step out like this, while being in mourning.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Princess Royal. I admire you.
This is what one calls class, isn't it!
DeleteAbsolutely couldn't have said it better. Plus, she looks magnificent while doing it. :)

Lovely to see Princess Anne out and about.
ReplyDeleteIn my view, there is no better way to honour a recently deceased person who was close to you, than by doing things that were important to that person, and things that honour their name and most importantly their memory. For me her presence at this event is a perfect example of that.
My utmost respect goes to Princess Anne for doing this.

Exactly, Anon 9:13! Very well said!!
DeleteYes. You expressed what I could not.
DeleteThe Princess Royal never shirks her duty. Her appearance at the yacht club was probably a good distraction from the sad ritual that lies ahead. I think she was dressed appropriately for the occasion, and attractively.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Debra. Princess Anne is correctly dressed for the occasion.
DeleteThe weather in Cowes on the day of her visit (14 April) was cloudy and cold with a top temperature of about 10°.
Protective clothing overruled fashion.
However, she looked smart in her double breasted jacket with its nautical look and the accesories in the same colour tone.
Princess Anne has spent a lot of time in this part of the world as she is a keen sailor and participates in many competitions on the Solent Waters which are in front of Cowes and the Isle of Wight.
J'ai toujours éprouvé de l'admiration envers la princesse Anne qui ne faillit jamais à son devoir même en cette période !
ReplyDeleteI bet Prince Philip would have wanted everybody to do their duty no matter how deep their sorrow could be.
ReplyDeleteThat is what the royals are doing at their best.
Great.
P.
How absolutely showing her class and strength !
