King Charles lets Princess Anne shine at key royal event of 2026

Princess Anne, the hardest-working member of the firm, once again shone bright as she performed a special task on behalf of her brother, King Charles.

According to a royal family's fan page, the Princess Royal helped the cancer-stricken monarch in hosting an investiture at Windsor Castle on March 31.

"This investiture marks her 10th investiture in 2026, and the 16th of the Royal Family in 2026," the caption reads.

Anne first presented a prestigious award to Mrs Valerie Lolomari, from Bishop‘s Stortford, Founder, Women of Grace UK.

She was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire. She was recognised for her services to the "prevention of violence against women and girls."

"Mrs Louise Fetigan, from Wareham, Founder, Little Troopers, is made a Member of the Order of the British Empire. The honour recognises services to young people," the statement further shared.

Another new member of the Order of the British Empire is Katherine Stapes from Esher. She was honoured for her services to the promotion of sport and fitness.

Similarly, King Charles also took part in the investiture ceremony, honouring notable figures, including Carey Mulligan, for Services to Drama.
