If this is Tuesday, it must be England #186

  

Happy Belated Birthday to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, the most hard-working member of the Royal Family. Her birthday, which was Friday, August 15 was somewhat lost in the shuffle of all that was VJ Day.  Her Royal Highness is 75 this year.

 In 2024, she racked up 217 engagements, sometimes more than one in a day.  Renowned for her unwavering dedication and commitment to public service, her position at the top of the list of working royals comes as little surprise to royal watchers and commentators.  She has undertaken royal engagements for 57 years.  


In celebration of her special birthday, a royal first as the Royal Mint released a commemorative coin to commemorate her remarkable lifetime of service.  


This is the first time Her Royal Highness has been honoured on an official UK coin, representing a significant numismatic milestone in British coinage.  Don't you just love that word, numismatic?

  1. Princess Anne is my favourite of all the Royal Family and is definitely the most hard working.
