Royal figure Princess Anne makes historic trip to Little Sark, marking 80th anniversary since the liberation of the Channel Islands.
Channel Islands' Liberation Day Welcomes First Royal Visit to Little Sark
Princess Anne, at 74, made history today by becoming the first royal to grace the charming peninsula of Little Sark in the Channel Islands. Her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, was by her side, as they celebrated 80 years since the liberation of the archipelago from Nazi occupation during World War Two.
Their journey began at La Coupee, a slender connection between the main island of Sark and the enchanting Little Sark. It's a sight unlike any other, making Anne the first royal family member to set foot here.
Waving flags adorned The Avenue as the Princess Royal continued her tour, eventually visiting Sark Art Gallery. She met with liberated islanders and shared a jubilant party with Chelsea Pensioners and Gurkhas.
Christopher Beaumont, the Seigneur of Sark, anticipates that Anne will be captivated by the peninsula's breathtaking beauty.
After days of festivities commemorating the 80th anniversary of the allied victory in Europe, Princess Anne's journey through the Channel Islands continued to Guernsey. Accompanied by her husband, she attended a parade in St Peter Port and delivered a reading at Town Church.
Tracing her steps through the historical heart of the Channel Islands, one can't help but appreciate their significance. The Channel Islands, a stone's throw away from France, were under German control, making them the only part of the British Isles to experience this in World War Two.
Princess Anne's visit to this enchanting, little-known corner of the Bailiwick of Guernsey represents renewed connections between the Channel Islands and the British royal family, reaffirming the islands' unyielding loyalty to the Crown and acknowledging their essential role during critical times in British history.
