In a recent development, King Charles extended his recognition to Princess Anne by bestowing upon her new military responsibilities.
Her new role entails her appointment as the Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
“The King has taken the decision to designate The Princess Royal as Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of The Royal Regiment of Scotland, acknowledging Her Royal Highness's significant ties to Scotland and her existing roles as the Colonel-in-Chief of both 1st Battalion The Ranger Regiment (formerly 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland) and 6th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland,” the official statement affirms.
It is noteworthy that this marks Princess Anne's first birthday since the passing of Queen Elizabeth in September of the previous year.
