The Princess Royal has been announced as the 2025 president of the Devon County Show.

The Devon County Agricultural Association said the princess had accepted the role after a longstanding commitment to food, farming and the countryside.

The agricultural show showcases farming and country life and runs from 15 to 17 May at the Westpoint Arena near Exeter.

Princess Anne, who runs her own farm and estate in Gloucestershire, succeeds celebrity chef Michael Caines who held the role in 2024.
