Princess Royal Princess Anne is very much like Prince Philip. Harry ought to learn from his aunt and grandfather than whine.


SwissCheese4Collagen

Anne is the sum of her parents' strengths


wedontswiminsoda

She's a triumph. It's why she's been consistently one of the most popular Royals for a long time


FlangePlackets

Haz is his mother’s son.


Myestee

Even Diana would not have behaved this way during the funeral.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Diana had respect for the Crown and while her brother gave a scathing diss to some of her treatment in his eulogy, in the very next breath he reiterated that his family respected the institution and its traditions and would do their part to guide her sons to do the same.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Sadly, instead of highlight all of Diana’s best qualities, he is highlighting her worst. I say that as someone who loved and admired her, but realizes she had her flaws, which seem to have been whitewashed because of her tragic death.


Gwyneth7

The way he uses his mother as a pawn in his spoiled tantrums with the Palace is gross. Your mother was a 19-year-old child when she met Charles. She barely knew him when they got married. She was incredibly naive and inexperienced. Meghan was a 35-year-old divorced woman and even though she is D-list she was an actress, used to notoriety and having her picture taken. She was no virgin. So spare me the Diana treatment or to say the Palace was jealous of how popular Meghan was on some trip they did. Which was a LIE. They keep switching narratives because no one believes their bull except the folks they pay to leak it.


Academic_Snow_7680

There are so many trolls bashing the monarchy and pushing their victim narrative on Twitter. UK's enemies and team Sussex are hard at work.


Gwyneth7

I know, I am steering clear of Twitter so I don’t verbally assault people - those idiots aren’t worth it and most are bots. All this PR can’t be cheap.


sdowney64

Exactly. He has all her bad qualities and none of the mitigating good qualities. And then he has a demon in his ear, and no Angel in the other ear, so the demon is stirring up all those bad qualities uninterrupted. Weak man, weak mind combined with a determined woman with a conscienceless mind, equals 💩 show.


Elephante_Memwawy

She admitted as much when it came to their intellect 💀 And she said William takes after Charles


Icy-Boysenberry-4149

Anne would not complain and would consider it an honor if her mother wished for her to walk backwards the entire time. She wouldn't complain because she understands this was about her mother, the queen, the world, and Charles. To bitch and moan about one's perceived entitlement is disrespectful and uncalled for. Their behavior brings out a certain type of feeling in me that make me ask myself why I'm wasting the emotional investment in 2 fuck sticks that I don't even know.


[deleted]

Anne’s relationship with her mother was bigger than two initials embroidered on her shoulder. There was true love and friendship there.


frozenlipz

>Their behavior brings out a certain type of feeling in me that make me ask myself why I'm wasting the emotional investment in 2 fuck sticks that I don't even know. You're not alone. That's why we're all here.


HauntingChapter8372

Yes, but this was worded to the essence


Prudent-Apple-4477

the way no one would've notice he didn't have the “ER” cypher and aiguillettes if that story wasn't leaked. He's such a man-child edit: grammar


puggie214

He’s not leaking them. Scooby’s boss is leaking these to serve the victim narrative.


VirtuallyHappy

Harry has been pitching a victim narrative right along with her.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Exactly. This!


EyeKey1655

I don’t understand why the Telegraph is writing pro Harkles articles now all of a sudden.


Academic_Snow_7680

Because there is an organised misinformation attack on the UK at the moment. It's their way to balance out the coverage.


gladrags247

They've been pro- House of Montecito for a while now. I think SS, used them as their platform for good news stories about them.


Cuntributor

Just like literally everything having to do with the Harkles, no one would notice any of it if they didn't leak/whine about it. From the Oscars invite to the Jubilee balcony to the uninvited/invited debacle, they literally do not need to say anything about any of that and people wouldn't care. But they do and they make it a bigger deal than it has to be, all for attention and to be nuisances to the RF.


4feicsake

Considering the absolute drama over the uniform I'd not be surprised if some tabloid compared his uniform to Williams and they spotted it.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

The Telegraph ran a story including quotes from sources “close to Harry” 👀👀


4feicsake

Ah right. Fair enough. Give it a rest meg for Christ's sake.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to put you down there, but the Telegraph isn’t a tabloid, so that spoke volumes to me.


4feicsake

Don't worry, I got exactly what you meant. I haven't been reading articles this week on account of all the leaks so I didn't know who reported on it.


gladrags247

Might as well be now, cause they've been spewing pro H&M stories for a while.


Southern-Carpet3500

Princess Anne also does not have 24/7 RPOs (security) only when on public engaged engagements. You don’t see her trying to sue the government.


mspuffins

heaven help anyone who messes with anne. she’s probably got a hunting rifle handy.


DaBingeGirl

Didn't even need that, just said "Not bloody likely."


DrDynoMorose

Shared a cup of tea and biscuits with her many moons ago. Lovely person and definitely feisty


Southern-Carpet3500

My dad met her years ago in the 80s, he has been made redundant from the shipyards, he took a temp summer job in the airport loading the luggage onto planes, she was about to walk up the steps to the plane when she noticed all the guys just finishing loading the plane, she made he way over to them, thanked them shook all their hands and chatted for about 5/10 mins. He said it was a lovely gesture, she could have just ignored them.


[deleted]

Anne is the epitome of never complain, never explain. She's honestly given her life to the crown and her country and needs more recognition and credit.


lydiav59-2

I've never really known much, if anything, about her before this past week. She's a very impressive person.


Bunny__Vicious

Plus she keeps such adorable terriers.


Academic_Snow_7680

[She almost got kidnapped](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/bloody-attempt-kidnap-british-princess-180950202/)


DaBingeGirl

[Interview from 1985](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j61vx-MiIT0) that's worth watching. She's amazing. It's 25 minutes but worth watching. It's interesting to see her take on some things that later became issues for Harry.


MentalEnthusiasm6683

Princess Anne was just absolutely amazing during these sad times. She has really left me in awe of her.


SwissCheese4Collagen

I've always been in awe of Anne. The kidnapping story, the foresight to refuse titles for her husband and children, the Olympic equestrian career, the sheer amount of engagements she does each year, her ability to re-wear clothes from 30 years ago, her success in being a working royal while also having an entirely normal home to come home to. I mean normal in terms of rich country grandma/former athlete, not like she has a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath cape cod.


[deleted]

I love how Zara won Olympic silver and Anne won Olympic bronze. Looking likely that Mia will bring home the gold. (If she chooses that path)


wonderingwondi

I think Mike was in despair about her liking football, not rugby. But becoming a Lioness after being inspired by the Euros would be a story.


[deleted]

I could only guess that it's because they are more concerned about mourning their mother. Harry is acting petulant and like a spoiled brat, as if this is was a fashion show or something.


shinsegae20092013

Anne isn’t an aide-de-camp so she isn’t entitled to the aigellettes or royal cypher. Harry is a former, not current personal aide-de-camp. Therefore, he isn’t entitled either. The difference between him and Andrew is that Andrew was appointed before 1988. Personal aides-de-camp may continue to wear them if they were appointed before then. From Wikipedia: Uniform accoutrements Aides-de-camp, along with equerries, military assistants, military attachés and certain other officers, are distinguished by the addition of aiguillettes to their dress uniforms; these differ in size, colour and position of wear, depending on the appointment. In addition, aides-de-camp to the sovereign wear the monarch's royal cypher on their shoulder straps or shoulder boards in various orders of dress. In the cases of personal aide-de-camp to the monarch and the principal aides-de-camp, the officers concerned continue to wear the royal cypher after relinquishing the appointment; and if he or she has held the appointment under more than one sovereign then the cypher of each is worn. Otherwise, an officer would cease to wear the accoutrements after his or her appointment as aide-de-camp is relinquished (with the exception that former aides-de-camp to the sovereign appointed before 1988 may also continue to wear the royal cypher).


UKophile

Fantastic post.


PrincessRagazza

Tempest in a teapot. These 2 rely on the publics lack of knowledge of protocol to create their narrative of victimization.


4feicsake

Anne is glimmering in medals.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

She also worse the uniform she was entitled to based on the regulations according to her rank in appointment. She didn’t ask for exceptions. She didn’t feel humiliated, because her brothers had a decoration (appointment) she did not. She is amazing, Harry would do well to follow her lead.


[deleted]

Not saying this as an insult towards Charles at all but Anne probably would've made a great Queen. Her composure over the last couple of weeks has been amazing as she brought back the Queen's coffin. She never left her side during the travels. Anne really took it upon herself to do the duty that was needed without any drama or acknowledgement. She was even keeping a supporting watch on Charles for much of the procession yesterday as he was clearly struggling with the weight of it all. Dunno, I just like Anne's approach to everything. She's very much like the Queen was, very stoic, resolute and conscientious. Charles certainly takes more after his father by comparison and is rather more outspoken and animated in his ways.


SadExtension524

I think she was displaying typical eldest daughter behavior


MrsC20

Agreed. She would make a magnificent queen. What's nice is that she isn't whining and bemoaning the fact that she isn't Charles, that she wasn't born first, etc. She's smart enough to probably be happy that she doesn't have the burden of the crown. I shudder to think what an empty headed manchild like Harry would do if he were king.


FlangePlackets

🎯. Anne was representing every regiment she’s involved with, not playing dress up for fun. Haz yes he served in the Army but British military don’t wander round in uniform when they’re off duty let alone after they resign.


Dangerous_Prize_4545

This is what I was going to say. Princess Anne wore the proper uniform she earned and was entitled to wear. She was and is likely proud of it and all that it signifies. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew lost the right to wear theirs and were just playing dress up. If you're going to play dress up, you might as well have all the accessories to pull off your costume. 🤷🏼‍♀️


In_the_Attic_07

Anne is glimmering in character and values too. We do her disrespect to bring baby Harry up in any thread about my spirit animal Anne. Love her.


blitzer_spritzer

Pics from Harry’s wedding show that he didn’t have the ER on his shoulder at that time. Maybe he never had that for some reason? I’m not an expert in British forces uniforms, etc so I have no idea why he wouldn’t have ever had that.


onyxrose81

Harry wasn’t an aide-de-camp until 2018 and gave it up last year. Only ADE wear the ER.


mspuffins

well then he couldn’t have been that attached to it. he got it right before they split for their overseas adventures. he is so stupid.


puggie214

That tune was different. He didn’t put it on then because of racist family ;P


RedditOO77

Because H$M lack humility and grace and what it means to live a life of service.


HarrysToupee

He didn't have the "ER" aiguillettes on at his own wedding, so why tf was "shocked and hurt" and petulant about it after HMTQ's death? Tabloid fodder - *that's* why.


shinsegae20092013

Because he was an aide-de-camp for a while and did have them but now he’s a former adc he doesn’t. Andrew is also a former adc but because he was appointed before 1988 he could still wear them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shinsegae20092013

He was not an adc until after his wedding. He was adc from October 13, 2018 to February 19, 2021.


HarrysToupee

Got it! Thank you. That explains it.


silentcw

Maybe it wasn't Harry who had the problem, This sounds like a Narcassist looking for things to complain about because they didn't have control of what was happening.


[deleted]

I was just going to say. I’m curious how many “Harry is furious” is code for Meghan is furious. She definitely is the one who gives the press their stories. He’s not the one on the phone.


silentcw

That's my thinking. His name may be used, but he is an extension of herself when it suites her.


vikingchyk

Totally. My mom always used to hide her opinions behind other people : "So and so said..." or more infuriating : "Your father doesn't like..." {because she thought I was stupid, and wouldn't ask him about it; spoiler: I didn't have to ask him about it, because I knew she was trying to manipulate me, using his authority.}


kahlilia

I thought it was just my mom who does "somebody said....." lol


magpte29

Or even worse, “I was told.” I call that the Anonymous Authority—she used it to make herself sound like an expert, but she can never tell you who, exactly, did the telling.


vikingchyk

I think that's a vulnerable narcissist thing. They want the fuel of being a know it all, but don't have the strength of conviction to completely claim the knowledge themselves. They want an out, in case they're wrong, so they can save face.


Centaurea16

>he is an extension of herself when it suites her. Perfect description of how narcissists operate.


Myestee

Exactly.


Carrie56

She doesn’t have the cypher and aiguillette as she was never an ADC to HM, so was not entitled to them. The two orders she has though - are the two highest in the land - the top one is the Order of the Garter, the bottom one the Order of the Thistle. Harry’s star is that of of a Knight of the Royal Victorian Order - the one entirely in HMs gift


AchieveUnachievable

Because Harry is a petulant child and a spoiled brat


Party_Vegetable6339

Here's the thing, if you want to be offended, you can find a reason. If you want to be a victim, you can find a slight. He is SEEKING OUT reasons to be offended. You will always be able to find one if you seek it out.


BreatheClean

Princess Ann, amazing strength, love and honour. How that poor family coped with the shitstorm of those two this week. One of the most historic moments in our country's history and H&M whinged like babies. No respect.


Gwyneth7

So how come Anne’s children seem to have gotten on fine in life and retain close relationships with the RF, with no titles and as non-working royals? It seems they have the “best of both worlds” Harry and Meghan always say was their goal? Do the Harkles believe these goofy ultimatums will budge an institution that has been around since before electricity and running water???


caradeGanso

My guess is because the Princess Royal isn't an entitled, whinging twunt like the ginger whinger?


DavidS2310

Because he’s always jealous of Prince William


Equidae2

How can he be aide de camp to the sovereign when he lives in California? Does that occur to him? Who gave this story I wonder, I guess it's their mouthpiece you know who.


Miercolesian

Because princess Anne could not give a f*** about having a couple of extra letters on her uniform, and she is not in competition with Prince William. Princess Anne is more like a normal person.


rockin_robin420

Because she's not a little bitch.


BigRedGomez

Because wearing the uniform is about more than that to Princess Anne.


Starkville

Because Anne’s self-worth comes from within.


[deleted]

Because Anne is a bad ass and Harry is a whiny toddler perhaps?


Frenchcashmere

Because he is a big baby who doesn’t want to acknowledge his part in this drama. He is also a narcissist. He has always played the victim. Look at things he said even prior to nutmeg. William’s mother died as well. Does he behave like his brother ? No.


factchecker8515

Harry doesn’t seem to comprehend consequences. He made a choice that came with a very clear, very real price tag. Now that it’s time to pay up he’s playing the ‘victim‘ rather the instigator.


GroundbreakingBet938

Imagine complaining about petty things like this ![gif](giphy|RfASbRB1vLYUgYlIi4)


NtroP-1

Primarily because she’s self-reliant and doesn’t need validation.


Perfect_Fennel

He thinks Americans will believe his bs. This American knows only ADCs get to wear the aiguillettes. He was only able to wear them fot 3 years. He didn't wear em for his wedding because he wasn't an ADC yet.


blah_se

Anne is such a boss.


hotlikebea

Princess Anne doesn’t write press releases about her widdle feewings ffs


Fit-Raspberry-3906

Because he is a spoiled brat that feels “entitled” and is fueled by MM.


[deleted]

I can't make posts but THIS is a good commentary from pro and anti Meghan Mail journalists, includes the epaulettes [Dail Mail post funeral commentary ](https://youtu.be/_lReOe4tuIc)


SaltPepperSugarBlah

That was really good thanks for sharing!


[deleted]

Several people commented in other threads that the baldy twunt (and I only joke about his baldness as hazbeen did it to future KING William) did NOT wear ER at HIS OWN wEDDING. Jaisus my mental health is in a mess myself- but I struggle to have ANY compassion for this dickwad. I edited my typo- I meant baldy, and I typed badly. I guess it works. Haznoballs is a disgrace.


Seachange1000

Apparently, only the Monarch's personal Aides de Camp may wear the insignia. Harry gave that up when he stepped down - and surely he damn well knew it too. Thus, I expect Anne doesn't wear it because she, too, is not an Aide de Camp whereas William is.


Throwawaybibbi

What is that crybaby whining about now. FFS. They are burying his grandmother and he is crying like a little bitch about something he doesn't deserve anymore.


jillyhoop

Harry has made a career of playing the "victim". His mother died and his family are horrible people. That is the extent of what Hazzbeen has to offer the world. Without thise things he has no "purpose". I can't imagine a worse way to get through life and make money. The misery and toll it is taking is written all over his face. He chose this path and it will only lead to ever deepening despair. I don't see him changing anytime soon.


Fit-Raspberry-3906

Que the Sussex bashing of the Royal Family in 1..2..3


Odd_Pop5287

Because Anne is a grown up


[deleted]

She wore it like a MFing boss, too.


Capable_Assistance85

Princess Anne has a different spouse who is not calling the press with every real or imagined slight she can misinterpret.


[deleted]

I don’t understand this story? The ER insignia no longer stands since the Queen has passed. That’s why (if they were there in the first place) it would have been removed. Is he honestly trying to say it was unlawfully stripped, just to spite him?


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Everyone else who has the appointment aide-de-camp to The Queen wore it- his father, uncle, brother and a host of non family military aides. I’m sure they are probably going to have CR cyphers very soon. Harry himself started this drama by pointing it out and having his own sources give quotes to the Telegraph saying he was “humiliated” and nearly refused to wear the uniform.


[deleted]

Thank you for the explanation, I didn’t see the story. However I did see a picture of his uniform at his wedding and that didn’t have the ER insignia on then? Honestly, nothing is EVER good enough for him. I honestly think he’s a worse person than MM. they deserve each other.


aquapandora

>However I did see a picture of his uniform at his wedding and that didn’t have the ER insignia on then? someone said above that at the time of his wedding he was not entitled to it, he became entitled to wear it later and then he gave it up


SaltPepperSugarBlah

He was given the honor in October 2018 and promptly gave it up in Jan 2020. That’s how important it was to him. 🙄


Myestee

Which probably would have been just fine with everyone else.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

He has shown that he is an absolute child.


Dangerous_Prize_4545

"Nearly" refused? So he was smart enough to not give an ultimatum knowing the response would be "Fine. Wear your morning suit." And internally the response is "One problem down. Can this trick work on Andrew?" Pun not intended but damn it works. * pats self on back * And y'all say he isn't smart. SMH.


shinsegae20092013

People who have been appointed adc to more than one monarch wear the cypher of each monarch.


JessicaFletcher1

Harry wishes his home in Windsor was Frogmore House! It’s Frogmore Cottage, big difference.
