September 22, 2023 : Princess Anne the Princess Royal officially opened the Port of Aberdeen's South Harbor expansion project.
From The Daily Telegraph article:
Attendees at the official opening of the expanded Aberdeen Harbour said that the Princess Royal, as well as 350 other guests, were kept waiting by Shona Robison who blamed “urgent government business” for her delay.
When the Deputy First Minister eventually made her speech at the event, she then failed to thank the Princess Royal for attending, which some saw as a further snub.
The Princess Royal is understood to have filled the time caused by Ms Robison’s late arrival by chatting to members of the public for far longer than had been scheduled.
However, normal protocol is that timing is essential on royal visits, which have to be carefully planned for security reasons."
The article also states that some Scottish Parliamentary Members seem to be anti-royal.

I find Anne, Mark, Tim interesting. One thing I've noticed is that Tim has lasted long because he's accepted being the less dominant partner (in the "working sphere"). Mark would have been a better match if he were more like Prince Phillip but based on all the jokes they'd crack about Anne's in laws buying the house combined with him insisting not taking a title, he may have felt emasculated being with Anne. I'm not really interested in people if I can't look at them as 3 dimensional human beings too. Or else what's there to discuss?
first reports this was nothing, now seems a bit concerning

Princess Anne Suffering Memory Loss, Remains Hospitalized After Horse 'Incident': Report
Princess Anne is reportedly suffering from memory loss as she remains hospitalized following an "incident" likely involving a horse at her country home.
The article I read said she went for a walk at Gatbombe Park and sustained minor injuries. It’s possible she went into a pasture or paddock and was accidentally head butted by one of her horses but it is also possible she fell and hit her head while on her walk.
I feel kind of protective of Anne. I worry she’s been working much too hard picking up the slack for the other royals who have been out of commission. I’m afraid she’s pushing herself and overdoing it.

Just read she doesn't remember what happened
I just read that too, that her injuries appear to be more serious than initially reported. I hope she gets well soon!
I hope for a quick recover for her, too. The BRF has a lot on their plate at the moment and Anne is one of the key members; the others must be so worried about her.
