The RNAA has longstanding relationships with other members of the Royal Family, too.

The King is patron and in recent years both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh have attended the show.

The Royal Norfolk Show, the UK’s largest two-day agricultural show, attracts more than 80,000 visitors a year.

First held in 1847, it features farming, food, livestock, equestrian events, rural businesses, crafts, technology and family entertainment.

“Her Royal Highness has long championed food, farming and the countryside, and we look forward to introducing her to many of the people taking part in this year’s show.”

Clive Brown, operations manager of the Beef Shorthorn Cattle Society, added: “Her Royal Highness, as Patron of the Society, has been a tireless supporter of our work promoting and developing this wonderful breed of cattle.

“We are honoured that the Princess Royal will be able to join us for our National Show this year.”
