Royal Family shares first statement following Meghan Markle’s New York
appearance
King Charles III’s office has released an important update highlighting
Princess Anne’s key role during her official visit to Turkey, where she is
commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign.
The Palace issued a statement accompanied by new photos of the hardworking
royal, noting that the Princess Royal read a message from the King during a
commemorative service at the Cape Helles Memorial.
The statement from King Charles read:
“Today, as we mark the one hundred and tenth anniversary of the Gallipoli
campaign, I reflect on the memory of the dreadful losses suffered by so many
during the battles. While the impact of these losses reverberates through
history, we may take some solace in the warm friendships and deep alliances
that have emerged from the desperation of Gallipoli, and which continue to
endure after one hundred and ten years.”
The Palace further detailed Anne’s two-day visit, explaining that she is
attending multiple memorial events to honour the fallen from all nations
involved in the historic campaign. As President of the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission (CWGC), the Princess has visited several memorial sites, paying
tribute to those who sacrificed their lives.
The update comes just a day after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made
headlines with their appearance at the TIME100 Summit in New York City —
marking the Royal Family’s first official communication since Meghan’s latest
high-profile interview.
Princess Anne’s continued dedication to her royal duties once again
underscores her vital role within the monarchy, especially during a period of
transition and reflection for King Charles’s reign.
