Their Royal Highnesses The Princess Royal and The Duke of Edinburgh will both be visiting the Isle of Wight in May on separate engagements to Bembridge, Seaview and Newport. Prince Edward, now the Duke of Edinburgh, will be visiting Wight Crystal’s bottling plant at Daish Way in Newport on Wednesday 1st May. It will be his first visit to the Island since 2022 when he was the Earl of Wessex. Wight Crystal is part of Osel Enterprises, which was formed in 1988 to provide training and employment for people with disabilities living on the Island. Osel consists of 3 enterprises – Wight Crystal, The Way Forward Programme, Working Towards Wellbeing. Just over 2 weeks later, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal will pay a visit to the National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) at Bembridge Coastguard Station, on Thursday 16th May. Princess Anne is a Royal Patron of the national charity, which assists in the protection and preservation of life at sea and along the coast. It was in 2018 that The Princess Royal visited the Island’s other NCI station at The Needles. On the same day, as the President of the Royal Yachting Association, Princess Anne will open the Sea View Yacht Club Training Centre in Seaview. Her last visit to the Isle of Wight was in July of last year.

Better bring their own boat!
They usually fly in by helicopter, you plonker.
That’s interesting,also to let u all know I will be visiting sandown at Easter to look at the beautiful hotels along culver parade,I will bring a potty with me as I don’t carry a 50p with me,also I will visit Ryde to breathe in the beautiful sea air on Ryde harbour,must remember to wear trackies and a baseball cap
Do they know about the Numpty speeding motorists that exist on this
Lawless island.
I wonder if they will have to pay the extortionate Ferry fares, surely they won’t
Fly to the island knowing their Brother cares for the climate
Lol
She is an Admiral, naval launch will be the order of the day
They will fly in so they can get high on the cannabis fumes ,rising from the island
Pretty sure The Island can exist without you and your potty but thanks for thinking of us.. At your age tackies look ridiculous!!!
Will they have to pay 50p to have a sh*t or p*ss
Take them to see Sandown that is twinned with Beirut.
I see now why pop up Bob is making such as fuss. Woe betide any of the mere plebs coming into contact with a royal (who arrived by helicopter), just to moan about the shite ferry services we have to put up with. They might even be running again by then (unlike the floating debacle).
Surely some Icke fan is going to start with the blood-sucking royal Reptilian conspiracy …
LoL is he still a thing?
Royals may not be reptilian blood suckers but they are sucking the sole out of our country. Has Edward come out of the closet yet??? Although with such a low IQ he probably does what he is told.
Just what this place needs, another pair of useless idiots!
Oh dear, Steve, at least you’re admitting to be a ‘useless idiot’ yourself as well.
Total waste of public money. Why don’t they visit Sandown, Totland or Ryde. Not nice enough I guess. So, Eddie is now the Duke of Edinburgh, what a farce this shower is.
