Princess Anna, sister of Prince Charles, has been appointed as patron of a charitable organization in Scotland, which adds even more responsibilities to her. The princess, who has always distinguished herself by her activity and lack of intent to slow down, is now, at the age of 74, the honorary president of the 'Marie Fild' Foundation, which supports players of national rugby across all of Scotland.
The executive director of the foundation, Ian Renkin, warmly welcomed Princess Anna, stating: "The princess has been a committed supporter of the Scottish rugby team, having made a significant contribution since the 1980s, officially opening the 'Marie Fild' eastern tribunal in 1983 and becoming the patron of the Scottish rugby team in 1986."
Over the past year, the foundation has supported 18 men's and eight women's rugby players in their health-related issues connected with playing in rugby. "This is definitely not a feasible option, no, I don’t think so," said Princess Anna on considering the possibility of a pension. "We consider ourselves very fortunate if we can maintain our health at least somewhat, and last summer I felt a little bit lose it (joking)," she added.
