Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, the Princess Royal of the United Kingdom accompanied by her spouse Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, who are on a three-day official visit to Sri Lanka, met President Ranil Wickremesinghe at the President’s House a short while ago, President's Media Division (PMD) said.
The Princess Royal has been welcomed to Sri Lanka this afternoon with a dazzling performance by traditional dancers – and carried some of her bags off the plane.
Anne had a bag in each hand and a handbag as she walked down the plane’s steps with husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence for the start of a three-day visit celebrating the UK’s ties with the Commonwealth country.
A large group of dancers and musicians performed for the couple, with drummers playing a hypnotic beat in the hot and humid conditions.
