The Princess Royal acted as His Majesty's official protectant at the Opening of Parliament
at the annual event, entrusted with the protection of the monarch during the ceremonial occasion in light of her role as Colonel of The Blues and Royals - a position she has upheld since 1998.
The Princess has actually never been in the military, though she holds several honours and titles. She carries out hundreds of engagements with her military patronages and affiliations every year and is often dubbed the "hardest working royal". While it may be decades before the Prince and Princess of Wales' son George sits on the throne, royal fans have already likened Princess Charlotte's doting loyalty to her older brother to that of Princess Anne and King Charles.
