This coming week, Kate
Middleton and Princess Anne will take part in their first joint
royal event for a very special reason.
Their royal highnesses will
team up on Wednesday as they visit the headquarters of their
respective patronages, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and
the Royal College of Midwives.
While the duo has appeared in
public together previously, it was only as members of larger family groups.
The upcoming engagement
suggests the Princess Royal’s willingness to support Kate as she is
expected to continue to take on more duties where she represents the Queen without
Prince William.
The pair will meet with
representatives from Tommy’s National Centre for Maternity Improvement to learn
about digital tools that can support women with higher risk pregnancies before
taking part in a roundtable discussion alongside new mothers.
Princess Anne couldn’t be a
better guide to life as a working royal. She is known to be one of the most
industrious members of the family, racking up an impressive 387 public
appearances in 2021, stepping up as the monarch’s ill-health led her to cancel
several public appearances.

The duo appears to get along well
The Queen’s only daughter
even packed in 20 engagements into four days during her recent trip
to Australia and Papua New Guinea with her husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Tim
Laurence.
Anne attended the Sydney Royal
Easter Show shortly after landing in Sydney and fans were appreciative of the
effort she made as they shared photos from the event on social media.

to see Princess Anne in Australia for the platinum jubilee. Such a huge asset
to the royal family,” while another commented: “Love this
hard-working woman.” Another added: “Princess Anne does such a
good job representing HM.”
