BARROW is set to receive a royal visitor next month.

The Princess Royal, more commonly known as Princess Anne, is scheduled to visit three places in the town on November 15.

As Patron of the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureau, her day will begin by re-opening the Barrow Citizens Advice Bureau at Ramsden Hall in Abbey Road.

She will then visit BAE Systems’ Submarine Academy as the company prepare to build submarines for the country as part of a major £4bn defence agreement signed by AUKUS last year.

Next she will visit the ongoing construction and development of the new multi-million-pound University of Cumbria Campus situated beside BAE’s Submarines Academy.

And to conclude her visit, she will visit the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority at the Marine Terminal on Cavendish Dock Road.

Her Royal Highness is no stranger to South Cumbria having last visited the area in September 2019.

As the President of Save the Children since 1970, she visited the shop in Ulverston where she met and chatted with volunteers.

She also went to see the South Lakes Birth Centre at Furness General Hospital in Barrow where she spoke with midwifery staff over the £12 million state-of-the-art unit along with Claire Hensman, the former Lord-Lieutenant of Cumbria and Kathryn Gutteridge, former president of the Royal College of Midwives, of which the Princess is also a patron.

Her Royal Highness is involved with over 300 charities, organisations and military regiments in the UK and overseas, and devotes a large part of her working life to official engagements and visits.
