She is indeed a remarkable member of the British royal family. I'm not sure there will ever be another Princess Anne.

This made me smile. And to be fair, while she can be quite frosty if you are out of line, she's not nasty. She doesn't seem to play games either.

Not exactly a current event, but there isn't a general news and information thread about Princess Anne, so I decided to post this here. Please feel free to move if in the incorrect thread.

The fanatical loner who tried to kidnap Princess Anne believed he ought to be thanked for highlighting serious flaws in Royal security.
Ian Ball, who ambushed the Princess’s car en route to Buckingham Palace on March 20, 1974, said the police realising that the Royal Family needed better security was the ‘one good thing’ to come out of his ‘audacious’ crime.
Ball seeks to justify his actions in police files which were supposed to remain classified until 2048 but which have been obtained by The Mail on Sunday following a seven-month Freedom of Information battle.

Are there any pictures of Princess Anne at the Riding for the Disabled AGM in Aintree, Liverpool, on 9 January?

I just checked on their website and it seems the AGM was on 14 November -were you thinking of a different event for 9th January?
Anyway, here is a link with a picture of Anne attending the AGM - click on the pic and you get a larger image.

Aha, mystery solved about the date, well done!
Local newspapers often cover a story and schedule it in to be published at a later date. As Anne's engagements are usually covered by the local press these days rather than the nationals, I think we often miss news about her.

On 16 January, the Princess Royal visited the King’s Buildings Campus of the University of Edinburgh and saw the BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering.

The world-class facility - a circular 25 metre pool, 2 metres deep - is designed for testing marine energy devices. She watched as researchers showed how the tank can recreate waves and currents from coastlines around the UK, Europe and beyond. Princess Anne also visited the School of Biological Sciences, where she opened the new Wolfson Laboratories.

The Princess Royal visited the National Mining Museum Scotland, at Newtongrange, to commemorate its 30th Anniversary.

The visit is part of a series of high level visits from the United Kingdom to the Philippines to strengthen relations between the two countries. And this will be her second visit to the country; taking into account her first visit on March 1999.

Her Royal Highness’s programme of engagements is essentially in support of her many charities, and she also travels abroad extensively undertaking Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Olympic and charitable engagements.
