The scene unfolded as Princess Anne prepared to depart for Ballsbridge. A shout from beneath the portico broke the calm: “How did you let this intruder in?” It wasn’t a security breach of the human variety, but a housebreaking moggie who’d decided to make an unscheduled appearance.A senior detective assigned to the President swiftly intervened, rescuing the feline culprit and returning it to… well, wherever it came from.
The incident, while amusing, subtly underscored a sense of winding down as President Higgins approaches the end of his fourteen-year tenure. He remains remarkably active, with a planned appearance at the All-Ireland camogie final marking his final visit to Croke Park as President.

There, Princess Anne fulfilled her equestrian duties, presenting rosettes to the winners in Class 20 of the Small Hunters competition. Her dedication to the sport and her long-standing involvement with equestrian events are well-known, making her a fitting figurehead for the prestigious Horse Show.
