Princess Anne is set to travel to the Middle East next month in her second overseas royal tour this year.
The Princess Royal will fly to the United Arab Emirates to attend the Seafarers Awareness and Orientation Day next Friday.
Anne is President of the Mission for Seafarers and often attends functions around the world to support the charity.
On March 1, the princess will attend the event in Jebel Ali, a port town in Dubai.

Anne visited Dubai during a royal tour of the Gulf states in 1984 where she attended a banquet and a riding event.
On the Seafarer’s official website, it states that Princess Anne “attends high profile functions as our most highly esteemed ambassador and makes keynote speeches on maritime subjects, of which she is a leading expert.”
The Princess Royal has close connections with the navy and is an Admiral of Chief Commandant for Women in the Royal Navy and also Commodore-in-Chief for Portsmouth.
Anne could be in Dubai for a few days as her next royal engagement in the UK is not until February 4, when she will hold a Management Meeting at Gatcombe Park.

In November, the King visited the United Arab Emirates to give an address at the UN climate negotiations.
Just last month the princess also travelled to Sri Lanka with her husband Sir Timothy Laurence for a three-day royal tour.
While she was there, she met with President Ranil Wickremesinghe and First Lady Maithree Wickremesinghe.
The 73-year-old royal attended a number of engagements during the tour including a visit to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relix.

Princess Anne is recognised as the “hardest working royal” and in 2023 she topped the list with over 450 public engagements by December 9, according to The Telegraph.
King Charles closely followed his younger sister completing 425 public engagements in 2023, but this year the King has taken a step back from his royal duties following his cancer diagnosis.
It is not uncommon for the princess to attend multiple engagements in one day; on March 5 Anne is set for three public engagements in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Last year, the princess undertook between 12 and 14 engagements in a typical average week.
