Princess Anne highlighted in Palace statement as Duchess of Sussex prepares for global spotlight
Buckingham Palace has issued a public message featuring Princess Anne just hours after Meghan Markle was announced as a speaker at the prestigious TIME100 Summit, marking a new milestone in the Duchess of Sussex’s post-royal journey.
On Wednesday, the royal family’s official Instagram account posted a photo of Princess Anne carrying out her duties during an Investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The caption read:
“Congratulations to everyone who received their honours from The Princess Royal at today’s Investiture ceremonies!”
The post, showcasing King Charles III’s hardworking sister, came shortly after Meghan's name was revealed on the speaker list for the upcoming TIME100 Summit in New York, where she will appear alongside global figures such as Ryan Reynolds and Demi Moore on April 23.
Meghan, who will attend the event without Prince Harry, is expected to join “the world’s most influential people” at the summit. However, it remains unconfirmed whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend the TIME100 Gala scheduled for the following evening.
While not directly addressing Meghan’s new accolade, the Palace’s message subtly redirects public focus toward traditional royal service, underscoring the ongoing divide between the working royals and the Sussexes' independent path.
