Princess Anne Honors Anzac Day with Historic Brooch at London Ceremony
Princess Anne attended the Anzac Day Dawn Service at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner, wearing a gold ribbon brooch, one of her oldest pieces of jewelry. The brooch, which she has owned for over 50 years, was first worn in 1969 and has been part of several significant events, including meetings with Apollo 8 mission commander Colonel Frank Borman. Anzac Day commemorates Australians and New Zealanders who have served and died in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The Princess represented the royal family in place of King Charles III, who is preparing for a state visit to the U.S.
