Avalon, the getty links you posted do not work for me. I only mention it in case I'm not the only one. Here is the link for the Getty gallery to the coverage of Princess Anne's engagements in the Czech Republic.

I think this link from Polfoto should work. It's the search results for Princess Anne. The front page now shows pics from the Czech Republic.
