Princess Anne surprised students in Newcastle this week when she paid a visit to Northumbria University during a trip to the North East.
Her Royal Highness enjoyed a tour of the university campus on Tuesday, February 8 where she heard about its work to transform the lives of military veterans.
During her visit, Princess Anne learned about Northumbria’s Northern Hub for Veterans and Military Families Research which was set up in 2014 to bring together academics, ex-servicemen and women and experts who are dedicated to improving the health and social wellbeing of veterans and their families.
