The Princess Royal at the Melbourne memorial service

[URframed2]

Thinking about my friends down under , Im now living back in the UK but brought up in Preston, Bulleen and Lalor 1966 to 1972 . I watched the news during this sad time and was deeply shocked God bless Australia

Princess Anne is simply an exceptional person. Intelligent, dignified, poised, beautifully dressed and yet very down to earth. Hard working, as any look at her calendar reveals, and justly admired.

HRH the Princess Royal is a hardworking member of the Royal Family who, despite an increase in recognition, is still not fully appreciated. Her resemblance to HM The Queen is remarkable.

queen of australia haha yess

[MarkJSau]

@BozokinUnitedKingdom  Yes, HM The Queen is Queen of Australia

[Baledwyr]

Honestly...we have to stop the republicans from trying to ruin this country.

[ladynw777]

no religious word from the daughter of the head of the church of england

[MarkJSau]

To ladynw777. Australia has no established church. Your reference connecting HRH The Princess Royal to HM the Queen as the Supreme Governor of the C of E is irrelevant in respect of Australia

[augustusgl]

She was so good here and bought some class with her

[MarkJSau]

From my recollection of the broadcast, until the Princess Royal's address, there had been silence after each address. Hers was the first to receive applause... it says something about the power of a personal message from the Sovereign

I think this was a very fine moment, a speech in which tghe Princess Royal communicates, so clearly, the Queen's horror, sympathy and admiration, and also the Princess Royal's. The entire family has been a great support to those who have suffered, and I was moved to think of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall coming, with such honour and such concern, to the memorial service in London.
