Princess Anne was recently observed wearing a £4,000 brooch during her visit to Merseyside, which represents unity and strength within the World Scout Movement. The brooch, shaped like a Scout reef knot, also carries personal significance relating to her Scottish heritage and notable birthday. Jewellery expert Zack Stone specified these details and valued the piece at £4,000. Known for her diligent work ethic within the Royal Family, Anne has a series of international engagements planned, including a forthcoming official visit to Canada in May. Her commitment is well-recognized as she often participates in overseas duties.

In separate news, American author Andrew Lownie expressed critical views on Meghan Markle, suggesting that the American public is increasingly skeptical of her influence on the Royal Family. Lownie drew parallels between Meghan and Wallis Simpson, both American actresses who married into the Royal Family and experienced similar controversies regarding their roles. Further commentary from PR expert Lynn Carratt indicated that despite Meghan’s efforts to relate to the public, including promoting products like strawberry jam, her image continues to be a topic of contention. Prince Harry, now primarily based in the US, appears to have shifted his focus away from the UK. The perception of Meghan in America remains polarized as debates about her impact linger.
