Princess Anne and Duchess Sophie recently made a rare joint appearance to show their support for King Charles at a special event held in Windsor Castle. The event was organized to honor the recipients of the King’s Award for Enterprise 2025, and was attended by several senior royals including the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, and the Duke of Gloucester.

The reception celebrated the remarkable success stories of British industries, with guests sharing how the award has positively impacted their businesses. Renowned royal commentator Rebecca English reported that King Charles engaged in a conversation with Lisa Kay, a well-known shoe brand owner. Kay mentioned that Queen Camilla is a fan of her shoes, to which the monarch responded, 'She likes a heel that is not too narrow.' 'Yes, a block heel,' agreed Lisa. 'It gets a bit harder to walk in heels as you get older,' added Prince William's father.

In a video shared by Rebecca on Instagram, Princess Anne and Duchess Sophie were seen happily interacting with the guests at the event. Discussing the significance of the King’s Award for Enterprise, the royal author explained, 'Established by Queen Elizabeth in 1965, these awards are the most prestigious business honors in the UK.' She further revealed that the award has been a significant boost for businesses, especially in markets like the United States. A guest even mentioned to King Charles that it was like a 'shot in the arm' for their business.
