OHMYGOSSIP — Princess Anne visited Elgin in Scotland on Monday (06.03.17) to open a new youth kitchen.
The 66-year-old royal unveiled a plaque at Elgin Youth Kitchen and spoke with volunteers about their plans for the small diner.
According to The Northern Scot, the Princess Royal said the kitchen was a “great idea”.
She also attended Gordonstoun School for a ceremony put on to mark the 50th anniversary of the Consecration of St Christopher’s Chapel.
Anne’s trip to the former cathedral city in Moray, Scotland is far from over as today (07.03.17) she will head to Elgin centre to learn about the ‘Castle to Cathedral to Cashmere’ project, which was set up to teach visitors the story of its buildings, past and present, and those who visited the town and of those who lived and worked in the town.
Anne has been spending a lot of time in Scotland of late and the current trip will no doubt give her plenty more fond memories.
In January, the royal’s yacht was repaired using a £20 fan belt from a Vauxhall Astra after the vessel broke down at sea off Scotland.
Celia, who runs a yacht charter business, previously explained: “A request was sent out and the good folk of Tobermory commandeered a Vauxhall Astra fan belt to set the royal engine to rights.
“She said it was a really good memory – she loves sailing around the Inner Hebrides.
“The Princess was quite amused the fan belt came off an Astra and was impressed by the resourcefulness of people here finding a way of getting something to work.
“When she came over to the Sail Scotland stand [at the Boat Show] she was not expecting a yachtswoman from [the Isle of] Eigg – her face lit up and told the story.”
