01 september / 2016
During her visit to Arkhangelsk Princess Anne, accompanied by the chairman of the Russian State Duma, Sergei Naryshkin, visited the exhibition "Dervish: Caravans of Victory" at the North Sea Museum and presented a UK state award – the Arctic Star Medal – to the museum.
Sergei Naryshkin handed over to Princess Anne copies of archival documents of her great-grandfather, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich Romanov.
"This document is part of the draft navy regulations that your great-grandfather worked on, with drawings in the margins done by his hand," Naryshkin said. "I am pleased to hand it over as a sign of respect for your family and the long-standing ties and cooperation between our two countries."
