Agreeing, her co-host said: "She champions women’s sport, she champions the Olympic spirit and the Olympic movement and is such a great supporter of Team GB. For Lauren, Hannah, Lola and Georgia what a moment to receive your medals from Princess Anne."
The winning team then couldn't contain their delight as they proudly sang the national anthem.
On Monday, Anne had the pleasure of presenting Team GB's first Gold Medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games this afternoon.
The senior royal, who recently suffered a head injury and concussion, handed over the coveted gold medals to Team GB's winning equestrian team.
