Princess Anne is set to land in Australia in one of the royal family’s first international appearances since King Charles removed his brother’s princely title.
The monarch’s younger sister, often dubbed the hardest-working British royal, is expected to spend four days travelling the country with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, to mark the centenary of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals.

The visit to Australia by Princess Anne was likely orchestrated well in advance, without any forethought of the recent actions taken by the King against her brother, the former prince now referred to as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

University of Sydney monarchy expert Associate Professor Cindy McCreery said the tour could present an opportunity to take some heat off the royals.
“The best-case scenario for the monarchy is to have an example of what the public want to see — which is a hardworking royal being met by people who are glad to see her,” McCreery said.
“People will try and ask her questions, but I suspect she will say very little, if anything.

Despite these developments, Princess Anne continues to hold immense respect and admiration among Australians. “Princess Anne is widely respected and admired in Australia,” noted an observer, highlighting that her personal reputation remains untarnished by her brother’s controversial connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

King Charles III announced in late October he would strip his younger brother of his title and evict him from his mansion after more details emerged of the ex-prince’s ties with high-profile sex offender Epstein.
The scandal had dealt a huge blow to Australians’ perceptions of the royal family, McCreery said.

However, the situation raises pertinent questions regarding the monarchy’s awareness and responsiveness. “It does call into question what the monarch knew in advance, whether he acted swiftly enough, and whether he’s only responding to public criticism and media pressure rather than acting in the interest of victims of abuse,” remarked a critic, emphasizing the scrutiny faced by the royal family.

Australian Monarchist League national chairman Philip Benwell said the former prince had been less involved with Australia, which could work in the princess’s favour.
“Princess Anne and the King have had a lot to do with Australia, but Prince Andrew has had very little to do,” he said.

Amidst these concerns, the visit is still seen as a positive event. “It’s tremendous that Princess Anne is visiting Australia,” another commentator expressed, underscoring the enthusiasm surrounding her presence in the country.

Despite this, her trip is unlikely to attract as much attention as previous royal visits such as the King and Queen’s 2024 tour.
Princess Anne is expected to attend Remembrance Day services and centenary events in Sydney and Brisbane.
