JAKARTA - Princess Anne, the only daughter of the queen, was present to officially open the Queen Elizabeth II Park in Regent's Park, London on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. This moment coincides with the day that should be a celebration of the birth of Queen Elizabeth one hundred years ago.
Upon arrival at the location, the Princess Royal, who is now 75 years old, was greeted by Dr. Linda Yueh, Head of Royal Parks. He then met with a number of representatives of Royal Parks and the park management team, as well as London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the Minister of Heritage.
Reported from the People's website, during the event, Princess Anne also inaugurated a plaque as a marker for the opening of the park.
The park is the result of a collaboration between Royal Parks and HTA Design. Designed as a quiet and fully accessible space in the middle of London, the park offers a place to reflect while enjoying nature.
Facilities include a pond that supports wildlife habitats, a flower garden with species that have special meaning for Queen Elizabeth, as well as a special area to enjoy the view. The park will be open to the public starting April 27.
Princess Anne, along with King Charles, Queen Camilla, and other members of the royal family, commemorated this historic moment through a series of events.
A day earlier, on Monday, April 20, King Charles and Queen Camilla visited an exhibition titled "Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style" at the King's Gallery, Buckingham Palace. This exhibition is the largest ever held on the queen's fashion style, featuring about 300 collections from her personal wardrobe, and will run until October 18.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday morning, the King and Queen along with other members of the royal family and Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited the British Museum to see the proposed design of the Queen Elizabeth Monument which is planned to be built in St. James' Park.
The 100th anniversary series will be closed with a reception at Buckingham Palace on the evening of April 21. The event organized by the King and Queen will be attended by senior members of the royal family and invited guests who are also celebrating their 100th birthday.
