Here are some more pics of Anne at the boat show today,
I especially like the first and the fourth one, but with the
right caption the third one could be funny as well

She seems in a very good humor lately. Her hair looks better in this darker shade, dont you think?

I dont understand why such a big deal is made about Anne recycling clothes, the queen does it all the time as well. granted the yellow wedding-guest dress was remarkable but the constant talking of how she always recycles clothes just seems to be the press concentrating on what they want to and how they want to portray her.

I see the comments about recycling as a compliment to Anne. Of course all senior royals recycle their clothes - why not.

I dont see them as negative either, it makes her more likable, in my view, in these hard times. But still who cares that she wore the same outfit to the same town three years ago. How about an article about how she has been one of the hardest working royals without complaining/whining about her lot. She gets very little press coverage but she does more than her siblings, although charles did perform a few engagements more than she did last year. I doubt that she cares for press attention or appreciation anyway but still i think that her contributions should be recognized. And all we see is an article about her clothes!
She probably just doesnt monitor what she wears whereas the queen does.

The dress is a style which was very popular in 1981 - ruffles, puffed shoulders, and a print which really stands out in white and yellow.
The dress has an almost girlish look to it. Maybe if Anne had changed the dress - had the shoulders remade and cut down a bit on the ruffles, it would have looked more up-to-date and modern.
The hat - a nest of flowers - well, that is a different story altogether.

Two events Princess Anne attended today, February 17:

She was in Dundee to perform the official opening of the
city’s first purpose-built riding school for the disabled.

-----> Link with a small pic

And she officially opened a new health centre at Preston North End.
The link also contains a short video of that engagement.

----> "Royal stamp of approval for health centre"

Anne bears an astonishing resemblance to Princess Margaret in that photo.

Maybe this will forge goodwill and keep Republicans at bay.

It's just as likely, unfortunately, that the Republicans will complain about the cost.
My own opinion, though, it that a Royal visit is the highest statement that the British Government can make about their concern for the Australian people. I hope that The Princess Royal is well-received.

British Government? Hmm, I don't think so.

It would however seem to be the highest statement that could be made by HM the Queen of Australia, given her attendance just isn't viable and the Prince of Wales is required elsewhere...(?)

The Queen personally asked the Princess Royal, so it's been reported, to undertake the visit on her behalf. That to me says alot about HM commitment to her distant commonwealth.

A message of condolence, a personal donation, sending a senior familial representative of the Crown on her behalf and being kept up to date with daily briefings about the situation from the Victorian Emergency Services says to me the Queen certainly cares...

Oh yes, absolutely, I agree with you. I think that HM cares very much for her "realms beyond the seas."

Still the government would have to be involved at some point and could have squashed the Royal visit had they not agreed with it.

I too agree that Her Majesty does truly care about Australia and her other realms but unfortunately for her that isn't necessarily reciprocated by the citizens of those countries.

I have the absolute love and respect for the Queen and I hope that no one has read my posts to suggest anything else.

I do though think that sending the Princess Royal and not our future King is a sign that The Queen and the RF and British and Australian governments are fully aware that at some time in the future we will be a republic. Had that not been the case then Charles would have bee the one to cancel his engagements and visit a country over which he would be King and a state in which he spent, according to him, some of the happiest of his school days. For anyone interested this is the link to the school that Charles attended in Australia http://www.ggs.vic.edu.au/index.asp?menuid=060.050.020. This is the actual part of the school he attended which is where one year group spends the year.

But we are talking of why Anne will be attending, and it's not because the British government willed it. They merely consented where/if needed. It is however because the Queen of Australia wished it, personally.

The British government would not veto a royal visit to Australia by a member of the royal family when representing the Queen of Australia, as is here the case. They'd be very hard pushed to justify any such move which would be a great insult and disregard toward a foreign Crown.
