The famous Bletchley Park. Pss Anne looks lovely today, I wish she smiles more. Sometimes she looks like she sucked on a piece of lime.

I wonder why Sir Tim signed his name above Princess Anne's? The born royal's name taking precedence would be how it is usually done.

What a lovely picture of Princess Anne, Sir Timothy Laurence and their dogs!

Thank you eya for the links to the image of Christmas card.

 

[EllieCat]

I wonder why Sir Tim signed his name above Princess Anne's?

I don't think it says 'tim'; i think it says 'from'.

I wonder why Sir Tim signed his name above Princess Anne's? The born royal's name taking precedence would be how it is usually done.

I read it as "from" not "Tim"but for either its a bit hard to tell for sure. I do wonder if when a royal couple are sending cards out together if the person most lined to the organisation/person signs first. This might not apply to Anne and Time as he doesn't have any official patronages in the royal sense.

 

[Jacknch]

Indeed, Tim hasn't signed that particular card. His signature can be seen on this card (second image):

Ironically his signature is left of Anne's - she wrote the card and left space for him.

There are many examples of Anne and Mark's cards where he has written the card and signed it first or she has written it and signed it first.

 

[Tatiana Maria]

Thank you all for the correction.

Very interesting. It seems the British royal family is not as strict on protocol as I imagined.

 

[Heavs]

Thank you all for the correction.

I don't think it has anything to do with protocol, it's just their family Christmas card and they aren't standing on ceremony. She still comes first (or only) in everything related to official events and status.

Princess Anne visited Dartmouth Britannia Royal Naval College today, December 17. She was guest of honour for the annual Lord High Admiral Divisions.

"The Princess Royal has recorded a message to congratulate this year’s winners of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, and to thank all the engineers working in response to the pandemic"

[tommy100]

As she is 70 I wonder if Anne has had the Covid vaccine? I'm assuming she has.

 

[Alison H]

I'd assume so too - pretty much every area's on to people in their 60s now.

 

[Danishla]

It's very clear the card was signed only by Anne. It says the word "from" above Anne's name.

I thought all engagements would have been cancelled until after the Funeral?

 

[iceflower]

It seems they have not been cancelled: Anne visited the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes on the Isle of Wight today:

I read somewhere that it went ahead because Philip was so passionate about sailing that they felt it appropriate.
