Princess Anne, the UK Princess Royal, will visit Thailand from July 16-17, accompanied by her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, in a trip aimed at reinforcing long-standing ties between the United Kingdom and Thailand. The visit will include a series of royal, diplomatic, educational and cultural engagements, highlighting cooperation between the two countries.

During the two-day visit, Princess Anne is scheduled to have an audience with His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen. She will also pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother and meet Thailand’s prime minister as part of her official programme.

The Princess Royal’s itinerary includes a visit to a Bangkok school supported by Save the Children Thailand, reflecting her longstanding interest in charitable and educational causes. She is also expected to meet Thai women scientists and review work related to regional health security.

The visit marks Princess Anne’s fourth trip to Thailand. She previously visited the country in 1979 and 1987, and earlier in 1972 when she accompanied her parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on an official visit.

British Ambassador to Thailand Mark Gooding said the Princess Royal’s fourth visit demonstrated the enduring warmth between the United Kingdom and Thailand. He noted that the visit also reflected the continuing role of the Royal Family in strengthening cooperation between the two nations.

The royal visit follows a long history of exchanges between the British and Thai royal families. Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh last visited Thailand in 1996 during celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s accession to the throne.

The Nation reported that the programme is expected to showcase collaboration in education, science, public health and culture while reinforcing diplomatic relations between the two countries. The visit will conclude with activities highlighting cultural cooperation between the United Kingdom and Thailand.

    Funny, they don't seem to mention Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's (then Prince Andrew, The Duke of York) several quite well documented visits...

    Is Andrew not stripped of his Royal titles?

    Yes, that is why I referred to him as Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, and said that he was then Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

    He strikes me more as a higher-end Ratchadphisek type of guy.

    Interesting that Princess Anne is coming after a 40 year abscence. There may be other reasons not publicly stated. That's not unusual. Anyway, I noticed recently that the Princess Royal has been getting quite a bit of visibility in the media. Just over the last month really.

    We'd love to line the parade route and wave the Union Flag, but on our meagre frozen pensions we can't afford the 50 THB BTS fare 😅

    I like the Royals. They're interesting, anyway.

    A two-day visit is too short to really feel Thailand.

    She's come to mock the finger licking expats on frozen pensions. Don't forget to wave the Union Jack and kneel at the feet of your betters. If you're lucky they might urinate down your back and tell you it's raining.
