Princess Anne has announced a significant overseas tour next month, travelling to South Korea and Thailand. The Princess Royal, often regarded as the hardest working member of the Royal Family, will be accompanied by her husband, Sir Tim Laurence.
The tour will begin in the Republic of Korea from July 13 to July 15, where Anne will attend engagements commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Imjin River and honouring British soldiers who fought in the Korean War. The visit will also highlight UK–South Korea partnerships in industry, education, and innovation.
From July 16 to July 17, the Princess Royal will travel to Thailand. Her itinerary includes a visit to a school supported by Save the Children, an audience with the Thai Prime Minister and the King and Queen, meetings with female scientists, and a regional health security showcase.
This will be Anne's fourth visit to Thailand, having previously travelled there in 1972, 1979, and 1987. She last visited South Korea in 2018 for the Winter Olympics. The announcement follows her son Peter Phillips's recent wedding to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling.
