The
Princess Royal has just arrived for a visit to a community centre in Eastwood
in Nottinghamshire.
The official press release says Princess Anne is here to learn about
how a new project is helping local residents improve their mental health.
However,
naturally, there is great interest in whether she will say anything about her
brother, the King.
Princess Anne’s black Range Rover pulled up in the car park
as the heavens opened.
She
shook hands with Sir John Peace, the Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire (who
acts as the King’s personal representative in the county), exchanged a few
words and went inside.
From about 50 yards away, where the journalists were
assembled, one shouted: “Your Royal Highness, how is the King?”
No answer came
in reply, as the downpour began.
