“Your mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, visited Andong when she came to Korea, as a matter of fact, that city is my hometown,” President Lee Jae Myung was quoted as having told the Princess Royal during their meeting.

Meanwhile, a report said that Princess Anne encountered members of K-Pop group NMIXX at a reception held at Seoul's Four Seasons Hotel.

The event, organised by the British Embassy Seoul, brought together figures from across the UK-Republic of Korea partnership, according to GB News.

Following their South Korea engagements, which end on Wednesday , Anne and Sir Tim Laurence will depart for Thailand, where they will spend two days.

The Thai itinerary includes a visit to a Bangkok school supported by Save the Children Thailand.

Princess Anne is scheduled to meet with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and have an audience with King Rama X and Queen Suthida.

She will also pay her respects to Thailand's late Queen Mother, Queen Sirikit.
