Princess Anne's Solo South Africa Tour Highlights

Princess Anne recently made a solo trip to South Africa representing the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, after her husband Sir Timothy Laurence suffered a suspected torn ligament at their Gatcombe Park estate. During her visit, she unveiled the Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial, honoring over 1,700 predominantly Black South Africans who served in World War I. Anne also engaged with the South African Riding for the Disabled Association, reflecting her lifelong passion for equestrian activities. Despite her husband's absence, Anne continued her royal duties, which included visiting the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation. Known for her strong work ethic, the 74-year-old princess remains one of the hardest working royals, having completed numerous engagements both in the UK and abroad. This visit marked her first return to South Africa since 2012, showcasing her ongoing commitment to royal duties and charitable causes.
