The daughter of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Anne, will pay a visit to Ghana today as part of a two-day visit to West Africa.
A statement from British High Commission in Ghana said the visit which is Princess Royal’s third to Ghana, will “celebrate the unique friendship between the UK and Ghana, as it commemorates its 60th Anniversary of independence.”
The statement added that “it will also reinforce the strength and depth of our bilateral relations. Ghana is marking its 60th Anniversary with themes of reflection, celebration, challenge and togetherness. Its partnership with the UK embodies just that – built on deep social and cultural ties and a shared future.
The Princess Royal is expected to meet a number of dignitaries including the Asantehene, Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II at the Royal Palace in Kumasi and former President Kufuor.
The Princess Royal will also undertake a wide-ranging programme that builds on her previous visits in 1998 and 2011, which according to the statement focuses on empowering women who act as role models for others, exploring the importance of support for girls, female education and entrepreneurs in delivering Ghana’s future.
She will also meet with a number of UK volunteers including the alumni of UK sponsored scholarship programmes, Chevening, Commonwealth and the Queens Young Leaders
The Princess Royal visit follows similar ones paid by former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair and Britain’s Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson.

48 year old woman with 2 Children, No Man, No papa is looking for a husband in UK and Ghana. She is ready to harass young men young enough to be her children and she will lie about them as well😀
What does she want in Ghana? Brexit and now we see the British gallivanting over the world seeking to renew contacts with their colonial 'servants'. They are in India, Ghana and all over W/A. I hope our leaders are wide awake this time, because we should NEVER trust an OLD CROOK!
Ojam something is really cooking behind closed curtains.The paradox of Africa's relationship with the west is it a necessary evil ? But my most important question is what Ghana as a country stand to gain because we know for a fact that trade with the west has been one sided since independence so what is different now ? Is Africa the alternative ***barred word*** when suppose conducive is not so cooperative.
This is good for Ghana, how I wish the water industry I work for could come to Ghana and fix our water issues. I could go back to Ghana and work there' nice.
Something very interesting is cooking behind the scenes which tells me certain major UK businesses are looking for opportunities to set up in Ghana. First we have Boris Johnson, followed by Tony Blair and now Princess Anne. There are interesting times ahead especially now that UK trade with the EU is likely to reduce and therefore they need new trading partners.
