Anne had a busy year too as she turned 70 on August 15.
Her achievements over the years were shown on an ITV documentary: Anne: The Princess Royal at 70.
The British public was given a rare behind-the-scenes look at the Princess Royal s schedule and also included interviews with loved ones.
Her first engagements of the year took place on January 8, where she went to Oxford to attend the Farming Conference Debate at the Oxford Union.

Princess Anne’s year usually comes to an end with her tucking over 500 engagements under her belt and the words ‘hardest working royal’ ringing in her ears. This year has been very different for the Princess Royal. As well as turning 70, she’s seen her usual pattern of life turned upside down. But Anne, as you would expect, has turned that to her advantage and packed out her diary in a new way that has still left her at the top of the tree when it comes to regal duty.
th, she attended the Farming Conference Debate at the Oxford Union. From that point, her diary took on its usual packed appearance. It also included a family moment when Anne received an honorary degree from the Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen, her sister-in-law, The Duchess of Cornwall.
