Princess Anne continues to be named as the hardest-working royal and over the weekend, the Princess Royal was on the other side of the world on official business.
The 74-year-old was in Barbados to attend the Duke of Edinburgh's Commonwealth Study Conferences, as well as meet with local people and dignitaries. Anne has served as the president of the Commonwealth Study Conferences since 2011, taking over the role from her late father, Prince Philip.
It was a busy couple of days for the royal who also met with study groups and attended the Caribbean-Canada Leaders Dialogue and Report-Back Dialogues.
Anne also attended a reception at The British High Commission Bridgetown to celebrate The King's official birthday. During the reception, she met with the President of Barbados, Dame Sandra Mason, and the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley.
Other events saw the royal lay a wreath at the Barbados Military Cemetery, mark the 70th anniversary of the Barbados Olympic Association and visit the Regional Security System and Barbados Defence Force's Field Medical Hospital.

As ever, Anne looked as splendid as ever as she displayed her sartorial game while out in the Caribbean. In pictures shared by the royal family's social media accounts, Anne looked elegant in a cream blazer that she paired with a geometric dress and satin gloves.

Working hard
Anne is regularly named as the hardest-working royal due to the number of engagements she carries out, and earlier this year, she was asked about any possible retirement plans.
