As a part of her South Africa tour, Princess Anne visited one of the local schools. The Princess talked about the needs of the school with the members of the administration.
She also presented children with some toys that they liked very much.
Princess Royal spends a significant amount of time visiting Save the Children’s projects, both overseas and in the UK. Most recently, she has travelled to South Africa. In addition to visiting teams around the world, Her Royal Highness regularly meets fundraisers and volunteers. She also attends and speaks at many of our special events.
Since 1970 (the year when Princess Anne became the President of Save the Children) the Princess Royal’s work with Save the Children has given her great insight into the needs of children worldwide.
Her Royal Highness says of her work:
“I am proud of my association with Save the Children, and I am honoured to succeed Her Majesty as its Patron. It is an organization that embodies a spirit of compassion, openness and excellence. Its values are an inspiration; its achievements, a source of hope for millions of children.”
This morning the Palace announced that The Princess of Wales is expecting. The statement was followed by photos depicting the happy couple.
Today The Princess of Wales gave a master class to a new member of the Royal Family in performing royal duties.
The Princess of Wales unveiled a statue of the Roman Goddess of wild animals and the hunt at Victoria and Albert Museum.
She was accompanied by Prince Edward's fiancee Sophie Rhys-Jones. Sophie looked a little nervous but Diana did all her best to comfort her. Royal watchers claim that we are witnessing the beginning of a new friendship between the Queen's daughters-in-law.
"Sophie is very lucky to be allowed to learn how the Firm is functioning. We all know about the difficulties that Diana experienced when she joined the Windsors. So, by all accounts, the Firm has learned from their mistakes and is now trying to prepare Ms Rhys-Jones for her future role" - says royal expert and biographer Maggie Smith.

This morning the Buckingham Palace made a statement about the engagement of Prince Edward, the youngest son of HM the Queen and The Duke of Edunburgh.
Edward proposed to Sophie with a delicate engagement ring featuring a two-carat oval diamond set in 18-karat gold. This engagement ring was made by Garrard & Co and is believed to worth an estimated £105,000.
It is known that the couple is to marry in June at St. George's Chapel of Windsor Castle
"We are the very best of friends and that’s essential but it also helps that we also love each other very much," the Prince told the press.
Who is Sophie?
Sophie Helen Rhys-Jones was born on January 20, 1965 in Oxford.
Sophie’s father runs an import-export business that sold automobile tires to Hungary, and her mother works as a part-time secretary.
Sophie attended West Kent College, a private girls’ day school, and a local secretarial college, she worked briefly in a bar and later as a press officer for Capital Radio and as a concierge at a winter sports resort in Switzerland. There she became romantically involved with an Australian ski instructor and followed him to Australia.
When that relationship ended, Rhys-Jones returned to London and began working for the public-relations company Maclaurin Communication and Media. In 1996, with business partner Murray Harkin, she set up a public-relations company, R-J H.
Lilibet is my pride,
Margaret is my joy.
