King Charles' office issued a statement to mark a delightful event amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's security shock.
The royal family's official Instagram page shared an update on Princess Anne's outing with special fur companions.
The message alongside photos from the event reads, "A round of a-paws for this year’s winners of the International Sheep Dog Trials!
"As Patron, The Princess Royal attended the event hosted by the International Sheep Dog Society, which works to support the training and welfare of sheep dogs.
"Her Royal Highness met team members from across the United Kingdom, watched qualifying runs and presented awards for their contribution to sheepdog trialling."
It is worth noting that King Charles' office breaks its social media silence amid the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's security concerns for Archie and Lilibet, forcing them to change their kids' school within two days of the new term.
The Sussexes' team clarified that the move was taken not because of the school or its management but solely after "discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements."
