Princess Royal Named Chancellor of Health Sciences University as Duchy Scandal Unfolds
Amid the unfolding controversy over King Charles’ private estate dealings, Princess Anne has reached an impressive milestone, becoming chancellor of the newly rebranded Health Sciences University (HSU), previously known as AECC College.
During a campus visit, Anne, celebrated as the “hardest-working royal,” was honoured with the chancellorship, marking a significant moment for the institution. After meeting with students, staff, and patients, she unveiled a specially commissioned plaque to commemorate the occasion.
Vice Chancellor Prof Lesley Haig expressed enthusiasm, saying, “It’s a tremendous honour to celebrate the official launch of Health Sciences University with the installation of Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal as chancellor. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in our history of training and inspiring healthcare professionals.”
This positive news for the royal family arrives during a challenging period, as a recent investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and The Sunday Times uncovered substantial earnings from the Duchy of Lancaster and Duchy of Cornwall through agreements with public bodies and charities. Following the revelations, King Charles has reportedly taken steps to dissolve these lucrative deals.
In a time of public scrutiny, Princess Anne’s new role highlights her steadfast dedication to public service, bringing a welcome focus to the royal family’s contributions to education and healthcare.
