The visits follow after The Prince and Princess of Wales congratulated the “super trooper” Princess Royal as she returned to public duties after suffering a concussion in a horse-related accident.

On Friday, Anne returned to public engagements with a visit to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships at Hartpury University and Hartpury College in Gloucestershire.

William and Kate retweeted a post on X by the official royal family account of photos of Anne smiling at the event, adding “Super trooper! So great to see you back so soon! W & C x” – showing it is a personal message from the couple.

Princess Anne, 73, spent five nights in hospital after she was believed to have been struck by a horse while out walking on June 23.

The Brancaster NCI comprises a team of volunteers who monitor the sea and shoreline, providing safety support for mariners and beachgoers.

This year the charity is celebrating its 30th anniversary of helping to save lives around the coast.

Meanwhile, the Citizens Advice service will be celebrating its 85th anniversary after opening in September 1939, just four days after the Second World War began.
