Buckingham Palace has issued its first statement after King Charles reunited with Prince Harry in Clarence House.
On Thursday, September 11, a new message was shared on the official royal family Instagram — run by King Charles’ office — one day after the monarch hosted his youngest son in his country home in London.
The post was an update on Charles’ sister, Princess Anne, and her recent engagements in Northern Ireland.
The message read: “The Princess Royal has been in Northern Ireland, where she joined a Garden Party at Hillsborough Castle to meet extraordinary people invited in recognition of their public service.”
The statement continued: “Her Royal Highness also presented 106-year-old veteran, Norman Irwin, with a B.E.M for his voluntary work in his hometown of Coleraine. Norman joined up at the outbreak of the Second World War serving throughout the war and is the last living founding member of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.”
The statement was accompanied by heartwarming images of the 75-year-old princess as she mingled with Norman Irwin and other veterans.
Anne looked absolutely regal in a navy-blue coat and an asymmetrical feathered hat.
