The palace provides an update on Princess Anne after she hosts a special occasion

 

Princess Anne once again demonstrated that duty comes first.

Rather of celebrating her forthcoming 75th birthday with a major royal event, the Princess Royal chose to spend the day with those she values the most: those working in the charitable sector.

Last Thursday (June 5), Anne hosted nearly 200 delegates from 111 of her patronages at Buckingham Palace, and she made sure to thank her brother King Charles for allowing her to use the palace for the special event.

The Palace issued its own statement, stating on social media that "the event discussed key topics such as challenges facing the sector, public trust in charities, and the opportunities and risks presented by new technologies."

Anne, known for her no-nonsense demeanor and unwavering work ethic, spent more than two hours welcoming and thanking visitors for their efforts.

"I'm not here because this was my choice," she informed the audience. "You very kindly asked me to become patron of your organisations, so it's an honour for me to have all of you here."

The ceremony concluded with a private reception in the Picture Gallery, where attendees listened to music by the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra, another of Anne's many patrons.

According to a royal insider, "She didn't want to do anything for her birthday but bring her charities together."
