This release contains internal Defence emails coordinating Royal Navy support for HRH Princess Anne's visit to Sydney on 10 April 2022. The documents detail arrangements for Navy personnel to escort the Princess on the Admiral's Barge from the Ministry of Works steps, with Acting Fleet Commander Commodore Jonathan Earley designated as escort. The email chain, marked OFFICIAL, was sent between Navy Ministerials and Coordination staff and Parliamentary Business on 8 April 2022. Substantial portions are redacted under section 22 (information obtained in confidence) and section 47E(c) (Commonwealth identities). The disclosure contains minimal substantive information—primarily operational logistics for a vice-regal visit rather than strategic or capability-related Defence matters.
