In a solemn gathering attended by dignitaries from 27 nations, Princess Anne, often hailed as the King's 'right-hand woman' for her steadfast work ethic, was witnessed honoring a late president in Namibia over the weekend.
The 73-year-old Princess Royal gracefully penned her condolences in a book dedicated to Namibia's departed President Hage Geingob, who succumbed to illness at 82.
Leaders from Africa and Europe converged to bid farewell to President Geingob during the state funeral held on Sunday in Windhoek, the capital city.
Anne, representing her brother King Charles, paid homage to the life and legacy of the African statesman, who breathed his last earlier in the month following a battle with cancer, surrounded by his wife, Monica Geingos, and children.
Geingob found his final resting place in the hallowed grounds of Heroes' Acre cemetery on Sunday, following a poignant memorial service the day before.
Post-funeral rites saw Princess Anne extend her sympathies at Casa Rosalia, the late president's abode, where she solemnly signed a condolence book amid candles and floral tributes.
In a poignant display of international solidarity, the princess joined representatives from across the globe to honor President Geingob's memory at his state funeral.
