Princess Anne is bracing for a major trip later this month as she is set to travel to Turkey alongside her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, on behalf of King Charles for the first time since he suffered a mystery injury earlier this year. Buckingham Palace announced that the Princess Royal will head to Turkey to attend commemorations of the 110th Anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25.

It will be the first time she is seen with her husband publicly since his injury forced him to take a break from royal engagements. The retired British naval officer was recovering from a suspected torn ligament which he was understood to have acquired while working on her Gatcombe estate. He was last seen being on the mend and grasping onto two crutches back in February to attend an event in Swindon.

Now he will join his wife, who will attend the Turkish, French, United Kingdom, Commonwealth and Irish memorial services on the Gallipoli peninsula on April 24.

In her role as President of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), Anne will also pay a visit to the grave of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Doughty-Wylie, who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for Gallantry in the Gallipoli campaign.

On Friday, April 25, the Princess Royal will attend the Dawn Memorial Service at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli peninsula and after the service, she will conduct audiences with the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the Governor-General of Australia.

Anne will conclude her visit by attending the Australian and New Zealand memorial services.

In January, the King's sister travelled to South Africa on her own following her husband's injury.

Anne kickstarted the first royal tour of the year on January 21, when she visited the south African country for two days.

Before that, her last visit to South Africa was in 2012 to commemorate her late mother, Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.
