Kate Middleton and Princess Anne recently embarked on their first-ever combined royal function for something they are both passionate about. Since both Kate Middleton and Princess Anne are patrons of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), respectively, the two high-ranking royals on Wednesday made an appearance at the London offices of the two groups, which now share the same head office, to pay their respects.

As they landed at the centre, the two royals looked quite happy to have embarked on the joint function. They were welcomed by Gill Walton, the Chief Executive of the RCM, and Dr. Edward Morris, the President of the RCOG. In a conversation with industry professionals, Anne and Kate talked about the current state of maternity services and ways to combat inequality.

Additionally, the royals were given a tour of the maternity care division’s most recent innovations. Anne and Kate are frequently pictured alongside one another on Royal Family occasions, but this was their maiden formal function together. It is widely believed that the Monarch herself requested that the two royals embark on collective engagements more often. And although this was their first time spending time together, Kate and Anne appeared to have a strong connection.
Having grown up as the solitary female child of Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Anne is probably able to connect with Kate’s experience of growing up in the limelight. As a young royal many years ago, she had the same treatment and even more. Anne had previously disclosed to ITV film Anne: The Princess Royal at 70, “The pressure that is applied to the younger members of the family, it’s always worse.
That’s what the media is interested in. That’s hard sometimes to deal with. But there was no social media in my day, and it’s probably made it more difficult.” Meanwhile, Anne and Kate reportedly share striking similarities. The two royals are renowned for their passion for sports.
