Princess Anne Makes Waves: A Historic Day at the World’s Largest Rolling Bascule Bridge

In a remarkable turn of events, Princess Anne has once again captured the spotlight, just a day after being crowned the Hardest Working Royal of 2024.

On November 20, 2024, she made history by inaugurating the world's largest rolling bascule bridge, showcasing her dedication and influence in the royal family.

The Princess Royal, who is the sister of King Charles III and Prince Andrew, dazzled attendees at the unveiling ceremony in Suffolk.

Dressed in a striking red trench coat complemented by a matching muffler and a chic grey jacket, Anne exuded confidence and charm as she took on this significant role.

Celebrating her latest achievement, King Charles shared heartfelt words on Instagram, posting a series of photos that highlighted both the bridge and his sister's radiant presence.

The royal family's social media account emphasized the importance of this milestone, noting that the bridge was designed to resemble the wings of a gull—a nod to the creativity of three local schoolchildren, Eva, Jack, and Hayden, who won a competition to name it.

During the opening ceremony, Princess Anne demonstrated her hands-on approach by visiting the royal control room.

With a simple push of a button, she raised the bridge, allowing the Excelsior—a traditional low-estoffed fishing smack—to pass through.

This moment was not just ceremonial;
