Setback puts Friendly Soul plans on hold
Both the Lockinge and Brigadier Gerard had been earmarked for the high-class four-year-old's reappearance, while she held entries for both the Queen Anne and Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, Friendly Soul was removed from both contests at the most recent entry stage, with no set timescale for her comeback. 'She's just had a setback and hopefully we will see her later on in the season,' explained Thady Gosden. 'We'll have to wait and see and she is obviously an extremely high-class filly, so she will be given all the time she needs. 'Sadly her mother, In Clover, who was one of the greatest broodmares of recent times, passed away recently. 'She's a very exciting for Mr (George) Strawbridge and a home-bred filly of course and hopefully she will be back later in the year.' The four-year-old retains entries for the Coral-Eclipse and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe later in the season.

HRH Princess Royal visits Queen Anne as Cunard and Liverpool re-affirm their unique bond
SOUTHAMPTON, England, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cunard welcomed Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal on board Queen Anne during the ship's visit to Liverpool on 27 May. Liverpool holds a special place in the company's 185-year history and was the birthplace of Cunard's first Transatlantic Crossing, 185 years ago in May 1840, and was the company's headquarters for 128 years. The city was named – in a world first – as Queen Anne's Godparent during an historic naming ceremony at the iconic Liverpool Waterfront last May. Her Royal Highness joined city representatives, crew, and guests in the Queens Room to reflect on the enduring bond between Cunard and its spiritual home. She also met with members of Cunard's Women Officers Network—an inspiring group of women from across the maritime and hospitality sectors. Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: 'While this was intended to be a moment of celebration for Cunard's 185th anniversary, instead it's a now a moment of solidarity with the city and our thoughts are with all those affected, and with the entire community at this time. 'Liverpool is not just where Cunard was founded — it's where our story began. This great city, with its proud maritime history and strong sense of identity, has shaped Cunard from the very beginning. The docks, the river, and the people of Liverpool are all part of our heritage and remain central to who we are today. 'The bond between Cunard and Liverpool has grown over generations. It is built on shared values — resilience, pride, and a deep respect for tradition — and it continues to mean a great deal to us. We feel a strong connection to this city and are always proud to return.' The visit coincided with Sea of Glamour, a special exhibition curated by Mary McCartney and featuring 184 images from Cunard's past and present defining the heritage of transatlantic travel pioneered by Cunard's first Atlantic crossing which sailed from Liverpool in 1840.

Anne thanks medical staff who treated those injured in Liverpool victory parade
Anne visited the Royal Liverpool University Hospital on Tuesday where she met nurses, consultants and paramedics, as well as representatives from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and the football club, after 47 people were injured on Water Street on Monday. Divisional medical director for surgery at Aintree University Hospital Marc Lucky told the princess they had put out an alert for staff to come in. He said: 'It's a very good example of the resilience and people volunteering. We had too many people, which is a very interesting complaint to have.' He told the royal the injuries were not 'major traumas'. He said: 'We were very, very fortunate yesterday, I must say.' Consultant Jay Rathore said: 'Most of the injuries were limb injuries. No life-threatening, we were able to manage them.' Specialist paramedic Susan McCormick told Anne she was one of the first responders on scene as she and a colleague were treating a man for something unrelated when the incident happened. Advanced paramedic Gary Fitzpatrick told Anne: 'We actually had a plan before the event so we were quite prepared for the situation.' Nurses told Anne, who is patron of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, that planning they had done for major incidents kicked in on the day and processes worked. Liverpool City Council leader Liam Robinson thanked Anne for her visit. He said: 'We really appreciate you still coming, because it will mean a lot to the people of the city.' A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: 'The Princess would like to share her heartfelt condolences and support for the families and communities affected. Her Royal Highness also wishes to acknowledge the courage of the emergency services, some of whom she met today, and all those providing care and comfort during this difficult time.' The princess was already due to be in Liverpool on Tuesday to visit Cunard ship the Queen Anne, which arrived on Monday as part of the shipping line's 185th anniversary celebrations. A photo exhibition which had been due to be held to celebrate the anniversary was cancelled following the incident at the parade.
