On 11 June, the Princess Royal marked the 50th anniversary of the Royal Academy of Engineering at St James’s Palace. During the celebratory event, Anne, who is an avid engineering advocate and Royal Fellow since 2010, met pioneering young engineers, including Lily Owuye, David MacDonald and Kitty Chia-Chi Liao.
The Academy was originally championed by her father, Prince Philip, who hosted the first meeting of 130 engineers at Buckingham Palace.
In an official anniversary message, Princess Anne reflected on his “legacy”, quoting his belief that engineering touches “every individual’s life from the cradle to the grave.”
Looking ahead, she noted that the next 50 years will bring complex global challenges, including health inequalities and national security threats.
“As a profession, you have an obligation to build on these achievements, and turn your collective creativity, expertise, and ambition into a future that works for everyone. No profession is better placed to shape the world of tomorrow,” she concluded.
