Princess Anne has made several public appearances after being honoured as the most popular Royal Family member. A poll by YouGov found seven in ten Brits hold a positive opinion of The Princess Royal (72%) who has been in Cyprus this week meeting military personnel from her regiment serving under the Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus currently.
As part of her visit to Cyprus, she also opened the Queen Berengaria School in Dhekelia which was viewed as a “great honour” by members of the British Forces Cyprus.
The British Forces Cyprus stated on their Twitter page this morning: “Delighted to welcome @RoyalFamily HRH The Princess Royal to officially open the Queen Berengaria School in Dhekelia today.
“A great honour for everyone here in BFC”
The Queen Berengaria School is a newly built facility which serves British military communities from Dhekelia and Ayios Nikolaos, Cyprus.
During her visit to the soldiers in her regiment, The Princess also looked at various areas of the Cyprus Buffer Zone and Nicosia, including the Ledra Palace Hotel and the abandoned Nicosia Inernational airport.
She also visited Wayne’s Keep Military Cemetery in Nicosia where there was a Service of Remembrance and Wreath Laying Ceremony.
President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades yesterday wrote on Twitter: “Pleasure to receive today HRH The Princess Royal. Reiterated our common aspiration to further develop and expand the historical ties and enduring bonds between Cyprus and the UK, both at the bilateral level as well as within our Commonwealth family.”
Princess Anne’s popularity has remained stady amidst the drama caused by Harry’s recent attacks on the Royal Family in his memoir Spare and several television interviews.
Other senior royals also maintained a high level of popularity — 70 percent also had a positive view of Prince William and 68 percent for Princess Kate.
But Anne was overall disliked by fewer people, giving her a higher favourability score than the rest of the royals, according to the new YouGov poll.
Prince Harry’s popularity in Britain has been particularly damaged by his recent activities. The poll recorded the Duke of Sussex’ lowest ever favourability rating of -44, down from -38 last week.
Roughly seven in ten Britons hold a negative opinion of him.
