Princess Anne was the subject of a Sky News report today (April 21) on what would have been Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday. The late monarch died in September 2022, making her son Charles king, and now the Princess Royal has officially opened a memorial garden celebrating her life.
Sky News aired videos taken from the unveiling of a dedication plaque today, at which Princess Anne made a speech commemorating the late Queen. The Queen Elizabeth II Garden, located in Regent's Park, is a two-acre site built on a former horticultural nursery. It will officially be ready to welcome public visitors from April 27th.
The garden was designed "with biodiversity in mind", featuring native hedgerows, wildflower meadows and trees to symbolise the monarch's strength.
It is located behind the Broad Walk Espresso Bar, just metres away from the Avenue Gardens, and will feature four new entrances.
As part of her speech at the event, Princess Anne said: "Gardens are important for a number of reasons, in terms of historical perspective."
Viewers who watched the segment were left emotional, as one tweeted: "I know that garden would be greatly loved and cherished!"
"How beautiful. A garden for our eternal Queen - brings tears to the eyes," someone else agreed.
A third said: "Simple. Quiet. Beautiful. Just like her. Just like the garden. Just like the memory. That's all."
