Both the King, 75, and the Princess of Wales, 42, were diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and temporarily stepped back from royal duties.
This led to an increased workload for Princess Anne, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
However, Princess Anne also suffered her own health crisis when she endured a blow to the head from a horse on her Gatcombe Park estate in June.
This saw the mother-of-two remain in hospital for five nights before being discharged.
