The Princess Royal has often been referred to as the most hard-working royal

Princess Anne is expected to undertake four royal engagements this week as the rest of the Royal Family rest on holiday in Balmoral.

The Princess Royal will be kept busy this week, as she is expected at four different events on Thursday (August 29.)


Anne is expected to start off her day at the Point and Sandwick Development Trust Community Hub at Old Knock School in the Western Isles.

The Trust built and operates the UK’s biggest community wind farm, so no doubt the royal will be learning about sustainable energy as well as interacting with the volunteers that help to run it.

She will then be moving on to the Carloway Community Association New Community Centre and Shop before heading to the Bethesda Care Home and Hospice on Springfield Road.

The Princess will then most likely round off her working day at the Ishga Organic Seaweed Skincare Company, which creates skincare products from Scottish seaweed.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

This comes as the rest of her family are taking a summer break at Balmoral in Scotland.

Members of the Royal Family typically retreat from the spotlight during the summer months, when they opt to spend private time together.

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, both 64, have joined the King and Queen at Balmoral Castle for a summer break.

The Prince and Princess of Wales along with their children have also joined the rest of the family, with Kate being spotted attending a service at Crathie Church on Sunday.

Prince Edward was photographed driving Princess Anne's husband, Timothy Lawrence, James, Earl of Wessex and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh to the venue.

Princess Anne is known to be one of the hardest-working members of the Royal Family and does not shy away from royal engagements.

Anne carried out 172 engagements between January and April 2024 and worked for 68 days, double the number of other working royals.

GETTY

Princess Anne has not only continued her normal charity engagements but also stepped up in place of the King as he underwent cancer treatment.

In January, the princess attended the funeral of King Constantine of Greece in Athens after returning from a royal tour in Sri Lanka.

In February she travelled to Namibia for the funeral of President Hage Geingob and two weeks later she visited Dubai.
