Britain's Princess Anne is set to visit the Czech Republic next month.
The Princess Royal - the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth - will meet the Czech President Vaclav and visit the 117th Grand Pardubice horseracing meet, in east Bohemia, during her three-day trip.
Anne, a former Olympic equestrian star, will attend the Grand Pardubice Steeplechase on October 14, the first day of her tour.
Pardubice Mayor Jaroslav Deml said: "We are extremely flattered that the Royal Princess will attend the race. This will contribute to the prestige of this international event and to the image of Pardubice."
The princess, who is known for her charity work, is also set to visit a Czech charity as well as attend the opening of British Studies at the Charles University Social Sciences Faculty.
Anne last visited the Czech Republic in 2003 to attend an International Olympic Committee meeting in Prague.
