Mrs Pritchard asked Anne – holding a black umbrella – to come into her home to see the impact, with Anne accepting her invitation.
Anne navigated red road barriers at the town’s bridge, which partially collapsed in the storm and left the town centre temporarily closed.
Anne said she hoped the timing of her visit was acceptable, as it “didn’t seem appropriate” for her to come earlier, when people were busy dealing with the storm’s aftermath.
The Princess Royal was left “shocked” by the devastation caused to homes by Storm Bert, residents said.
Anne visited the town of Lydney, in the Forest of Dean, which saw around 50 properties flooded in November 2024.
