“I and the whole nation will be cheering for you…you have all worked incredibly hard for this moment, during the most challenging of times.”
A message from The Princess Royal to Team GB ahead of Tokyo2020.
The Princess Royal has a long association with the Olympics, and is President of Team GB and a Member of the International Olympic Committee.
Over the years, The Princess has attended many games to cheer on TeamGB, and was involved in London’s successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games, as Director of the London Organising Committee.
The Princess Royal was the first member of the Royal Family to have competed in the Olympic Games when she rode The Queen’s horse, Goodwill, in the equestrian three-day event at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
