On 12 September 2026, Princess Anne attended an event at Daylesford in Kingham hosted by the International Sheep Dog Society (ISDS), which works to support the training and welfare of sheepdogs. During her visit, she met team members from across the United Kingdom, watched qualifying runs and presented awards for contributions to sheepdog trialling. Princess Anne is Patron of the ISDS.
During her visit, Princess Anne also presented the prestigious Wilkinson Sword award. This year, it was awarded posthumously to Tim Longton and presented to his wife, Linda, and son, Michael. The International Sheep Dog Society was founded in 1906 with the intention of stimulating interest in the shepherd, the shepherd’s calling and securing better management of livestock by improving the shepherd’s dog.
Le chiot dans les bras du monsieur à la chemise bleue est trop craquant ; il a l'air de beaucoup plaire à la princesse Anne !
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely no bias … but Border Collies are the most beautiful and clever and kind dogs in the world. Would happily have done this visit on behalf of Anne :-).
ReplyDeleteLove her scarf. She looks great in slacks and jacket.
ReplyDeleteI like it best when Anne these days wears cheerful colours. Her own colouring has become more muted with the years, with less natural contrast,(compare her face with the woman in pic 4) so that a navy and white combination no longer lifts her face -- especially when worn with nude lipstick. A red or pink or aqua shirt would really brighten this terrific jacket and pants. Lyra
ReplyDeleteShe never fails to utilize her colorful silk scarfs well and this is no different. The scarf blends well with her dark Navy coat. Always a joy to see her.
ReplyDeleteI feel like The Princess Royal can shoot the breeze as good with men as she can with women. She is a neat lady!
