The trip comes after Princess Anne joined King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey.

Princess Anne and Princess Kate were forced to deviate from royal protocol at the ceremony yesterday due to a hilarious hat-related dilemma.

The large hats they chose for the occasion made a formal kiss greeting quite challenging.

Footage taken before the ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London shows Anne, 75, having to blow a kiss to Kate, 44, from a distance in a desperate attempt to stop the couple from knocking their hats together.

As the royal family arrived at the prestigious event, William, 43, was seen shaking hands and making light conversation with Anne’s husband, Sir Tim Lawrence, before embracing his aunt, the Princess Royal, with a kiss on her cheeks.

Anne, wearing an all-green suit, noticed Kate moving towards the group and instead blew her a loving kiss to avoid the possibility of a hat clash.

Greeting Sir Tim with a kiss, Kate placed a delicate hand on Anne’s arm before bursting into laughter at the couple’s hilarious hat-kiss dilemma.
