Although Buckingham Palace stated that no other royal family members will be arranged to be "regents" while King Charles is hospitalized and recovering, as the eldest princess, Anne will undoubtedly play more of a role. After all, she is already a "royal model worker." , the number of times they go out to perform their duties in a year far exceeds that of other royal members.
Itâs just that there arenât many reports about her. Itâs no wonder that compared with her nephew-in-law Kate, the 73-year-old princess does not have much to attract attention. It can be said that she is a simple laborer of the royal family. .
Princess Anne is now considered her brother's right-hand man, and she knows what she needs to do without the king having to say anything.
However, according to the Daily Mail on January 27, local time, Anne and Charles, who grew up together, had not had an easy relationship for a period of time in the past, especially in the 1980s. It was when the noble lady Diana Spencer entered the royal family.
According to author Robert Lacey's book "The Battle of Brothers," Anne's "famous aloofness seemed to grow even colder once the subject of Diana came up."
The book mentions the attitude of Prince Anne when Prince William was born. She was attending an event in New Mexico, USA at the time. When asked by reporters about the birth of her nephew, she replied sharply: "I didn't know she had given birth."
Then another reporter asked tentatively: "Are you saying everyone is making a fuss about the baby?" "Yes," Anne replied simply.
And after Prince Harry was born, she didn't even attend the christening. "While Harry was being carried into the font at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, Anne was shooting rabbits with her husband in the Gloucestershire countryside," the book reads. wrote.
Although Anne didn't care about her brother's two sons, she asked Charles to be the godfather to her son Peter Phillips, but she was not invited to be the godmother to William, let alone Harry.
Why was Anne so indifferent to Diana? According to a palace insider, "Anne worked very hard, but saw her sister-in-law enjoy the glory. All this made her angry to the teeth.
I guess if it were now, Anne would not be so angry. , but she was also young and energetic at the time, not to mention having a relatively fiery temper. She worked tirelessly, and her praise and exposure were taken away by others. It would be strange not to be annoyed.
Previously, the British mediaâs comments on Anne and Princess Diana The relationship was rarely discussed, and the two women seemed to have no intersection in their lives, but that was obviously not the case.
Previously, the media was more willing to amplify Anne's attitude towards Camilla, for example, because Camilla's ex-husband was Anne's favorite The object, and then the eldest princess maintained a long-term resentment towards her brother's lover, etc. But judging from Anne's subsequent relationship with Camilla, she did not like this current sister-in-law at best, but she really disliked Diana from the bottom of her heart. .
But thankfully, William and Anneâs two children who do not have any noble titles have a good relationship, especially with their cousin Zara Tindall and cousin-in-law Michael Tindall, they get along like real brothers and sisters. The children of both families seem to get together to play together from time to time.
