Royal diary: What's coming up this week
Including a new milestone for Queen Mary of Denmark
As my fellow Royal Clubber Emily Nash mentioned in her latest newsletter about Queen Camilla holding the fort, the senior royals are steadying the ship in the King and Prince and Princess of Wales's absence.
The Princess Royal's diary, as full as ever, will see her travelling all across the nation.
Princess Eugenie will also be marking a very special occasion later this week.
Read on to find out more…
Monday
Celebrations are in store for the Danish royals as Queen Mary turns 52, marking her first birthday as queen.
Meanwhile, the Princess Royal will be in Wiltshire to visit Dressability Clothing Alterations Charity and to open a new community response unit.
Tuesday
Princess Anne's trip to Nottingham has a somewhat personal connection. She'll be making a stop at G.H. Hurt & Son, a traditional lace knitwear company.
The royal family have remained loyal to G.H. Hurt & Son for 70 years, since the late Queen Elizabeth II proudly introduced her firstborn, then Prince Charles, in a shawl from the brand.
Prince Harry himself was first presented to the world in a blanket from the heritage brand, while the Prince and Princess of Wales have showcased all three of their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – in G.H. Hurt & Son blankets.
Wednesday
Princess Anne will be in the county of Berkshire, visiting the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's headquarters.
Thursday
The Duke of Edinburgh formerly worked in theatre and television production, before becoming a full-time working member of the Royal Family in 2002.
But his interest in the arts is reflected in his patronages and work, and this week he will attend a talent showcase at The Savoy in London.
Meanwhile, the Princess Royal is scheduled to visit Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre.
Friday
It's a special day for Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank as their eldest son, August, turns three!
Eugenie has previously shared some family snaps of little “Augie” to mark the occasion so keep your eye on her Instagram page.
Meanwhile, the Princess Royal will be in Wales, travelling to Swansea and Newport.
Saturday
And the Princess Royal will once again cheer on Scotland in their Six Nations match against France at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
