Bradford Factory Hosts the Princess Royal

Crisp turnout: Princess learns the Seabrook's secrets (click image for video)

Princess Anne attended the official opening of Seabrook’s crisps new offices this afternoon. The Bradford-based company is celebrating its 65th anniversary with the regeneration of an old dilapidated warehouse, which has been converted into state-of-the-art offices.

The Princess Royal, looking radiant in a cream jacket and brown gloves, unveiled a plaque to commemorate the new life given to the building, but not before taking a tour of the factory to be shown how the crisps are made.

She visited several different departments, such as potato washing, crisp processing, slicing, drying, flavouring, and packaging.

The visit came on the day it was officially announced that Princess Anne is to become a grandmother.

Her eldest son Peter, 11th in line to the throne, and his wife Autumn are expecting to become parents at the end of the year, meaning that the Queen could become a great grandmother by Christmas.

The Princess's visit to West Yorkshire concluded with a visit to the Haribo sweet factory in Pontefract.
