Royal visit to Gallipoli Barracks in Enoggera on Remembrance Day
Princess Anne wrapped up her low-key four-day visit to Australia with a Remembrance Day ceremony at Brisbane’s Gallipoli Barracks in Enoggera.
The Princess Royal, often referred to as the hardest-working British royal, arrived in Queensland’s capital on Tuesday on a commercial flight.
This was the last leg of her visit to Australia with her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, to celebrate the centenary of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals.

The visit was carried out with little fanfare compared to King Charles and Queen Camilla’s 2024 royal tour of Australia.
The busy engagement day began with the princess laying a wreath at Gallipoli Barracks.
