Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence have been given a tour of the London Boat Show.
The 66-year-old royal and her retired Naval officer husband were spotted at the annual boating event at the capital’s ExCeL Exhibition Centre in Greenwich on Wednesday (11.01.17), as they were given a tour by show officials.
The boat show – which kicked off on January 6 and will run until Sunday (15.01.17) – is known for showcasing some of the world’s finest and priciest vessels.
Princess Anne – who already owns a £500,000 bespoke Rustler 44 yacht which was designed according to her specifications in 2012 – was seen admiring the expensive boats, before meeting with members of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) who hold a stand at the event every year.
The royal was seen chatting to the members of the charity – whose main aim is to save lives at sea – whilst watching them give a demonstration on how to use pieces of their life saving kit.
It is unknown whether Princess Anne has any interest in purchasing a new yacht to match the one she currently has moored in Scotland.
The visit to the boat show comes just days after the royal was spotted in Shrewsbury, where she opened the Battlefield Energy Recovery Facility which uses recycling to make heat and power.
She said at the time: "It is always a pleasure to see energy units like this being built but also how important it is the county and the local community understand the advantages of working together to get a really good result.
"I know it has been open for a little while but it underlines the real advantages because you have had time to notice them and that is very good to hear."
