Princess Anne will spend a busy day in Jersey on Thursday 24 June when she will have five official duties:

  • officially opening the Les Quennevais Secondary School;
  • officially opening the new Strive facility in St. Peter;
  • attending a church service at St. Saviour’s Parish Church to commemorate the lives of veterans from the Peninsular War, and the Battle of Waterloo, buried in the next door churchyard;
  • presenting Volunteer Reserve Service Medals to members of the Jersey Field Squadron at Government House;
  • as Patron of Durrell, visiting the bio-secure unit within the reptile house and officially open the butterfly and tortoise house at the Zoo in Trinty.

Princess Anne’s last visit to Jersey was in 2019, when she landed by helicopter at the RJAHS.

There, she enjoyed lunch and presentations about Jersey’s connections to Rwanda via the Send a Cow charity programme, before moving to JCG where she heard about the school’s participation in the British Nutrition Foundation’s ‘healthy eating week.’
