Princess Anne views Met’s famous criminal cases amid Harry’s security row

Princess Anne has been diligently carrying on royal engagements as the royal family absorbs the impact of the major changes that were made since last week.

King Charles’s sister had taken on a number of important royal engagements on Tuesday, with one key visit to the Metropolitan Police Crime Museum at New Scotland Yard in London.

The Princess Royal had the opportunity to look at a collection of criminal memorabilia at the museum as it tells the stories of some the well- and lesser-known cases investigated by the Met.

The exhibition, which began from June 10, 2025 and will continue until April 2, 2026, is meant to mark 150 years of the Crime Museum. The organisers insist that the exhibit will showcase “how justice for victims has always been at the centre of Met investigations”.

Anne’s visit also comes after her nephew Prince Harry has revived his case for tax-payer funded police protection shortly after his UK visit in September.

He had claimed that his risk assessment has not been done properly and has written a letter to the new Home Office Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, this month asking to review of his security arrangements and for a formal annual risk assessment by the Executive Branch for Royalty and Special Cases (Ravec).

The Duke of Sussex, who had conducted a four-day trip for charity events and follow-up with his patronages, experienced a breach in security twice, seemingly proving his claims about inadequate security for him and his family.
