Princess Anne is set to visit the National Maritime Museum Cornwall on Monday 12 July.

She will meet the competitors in the JP Morgan Fleming Dragon Gold Cup and also visit the Beacon Community Regeneration Partnership.

Jonathan Griffin, Director of the National Maritime Museum Cornwall concludes: “We are looking forward to welcoming The Princess Royal to Falmouth for these events, especially in the year that we are celebrating the Olympics with our ‘Will to Win’ exhibition. As an Olympian herself, there is no doubt that she will fully appreciate and understand the human endurance, determination and energy that has gone behind our medal winning Olympic and competitive boats.”
