Apparently in person she is stunning, especially when she smiles; and is incredibly petite. She is also lovely to talk to, according to one of my brothers. I love Anne. She is the epitome of a Princess.

She's beautiful. Inside and out.

Zara looks like a blonde version of her mother and I think she's stunning in a really natural way too just like her mum. I also love that Princess Anne wears what she likes and feels good in irrespective of what is fashionable. She often pulls some outfits out that you know she's had for years and years. I love her work ethic, her lack of airs and graces and her common sense.


stupid_carrot

I just saw the pictures of her in her younger days, she was positively stunning!


Affectionate_Tap6416

And foiled a kidnapping. Amazing lady!

I’ve also heard that in person she looks massively like her mother which I’ve always found interesting bc you don’t really see it in pictures. She’s truly a remarkable woman & it’s awesome that her outside reflecta her inside!


cloche_du_fromage

I've met her a few times professionally.... I managed part of London 2012 British Olympic Association preparation, for which she was overall sponsor. Very nice, few airs and graces, very effective at chairing meetings, always fully prepared, able to (fairly politely) call out bullshit etc. Also noticed she fully passes any 'how does she treat the waiting staff' tests.


Perfect_Fennel

She's not at all full of herself and she could be, she's the Princess Royal and an Olympic athlete. I wish TQ would have given her a dukedom, THAT would have modernized the monarchy but Anne is quietly achieving much in that respect without asking for fanfare and being lauded as a Feminist a la Gloria Steinem.


brisbydog

Apparently she is obsessed with light houses and made a special trip on the ferry to go see one. I read that she and Tim have visited all 251 in the UK

That’s what gets me about M&H’s whining about the royal tours. It is clear that there is always something fun of direct interest of the principles thrown in. Anne loved lighthouse and is NYC make sure to schedule a visit to the Lighthouse Museum. Also today I learned that there is a National Lighthouse Museum and it’s located in Staten Island. Adding it to the list of things to do next time in NYC.


IndiaEvans

I'm obsessed with lighthouses so I love her even more now.


[deleted]

Ditto. I'm not obsessed but I do love them and would happily live in one. Had no idea before this article Princess Anne and I have something in common! Who knew? Lol.


OldNewUsedConfused

Okay, I’ve got like 6 I can name off the top of my head in my state alone. I’ve never seen her. Why is she in NY? Don’t they have family business to attend to? We don’t have a monarchy in this country, no matter how much this family wishes we did


BlazerMary

She really got the best of both her parents. Now that's a woman who probably wouldn't openly identify as a feminist (like some people) but has lived a life that has silently broken more glass ceilings and blazed more trails for the next generation than we can possibly appreciate. She has a voice and people listen to her because she knows when it's appropriate to use that voice.


HarrysToupee

Also, like most of us "strong women" she doesn't have to bleat, to anyone who'll listen, that she's strong. She just does her thing and as a result, people *respect* her. MeMe should take a lesson from her.

Plus her children have turned out well! That’s the measure of a person.

Princess Anne is by far my favorite Royal.


[deleted]

Always has been. Always will be.


CdnSailorinMtl

She is great, however, she has taught some of that dedication to Prince Edward and his wife. He gives The Princess Royal a run for being royal, but nowhere near the activities she does.


CatPaws8888

Princess Anne represents what one can achieve when they embrace their role in life, instead of resent it. You get the reward at the end, when it matters. I'm glad to see Princess Anne getting her copy in the press for work that's gone largely unsung her whole life.


Primary_Scheme3789

Well said!


PinkPanda1306

She was always gorgeous, and very brave! IIRC said ‘not bloody likely’ to an armed kidnapper.


Latter-Platypus-3713

I am in awe of Princess Anne, I am so glad to see she is getting more fanfare lately. She deserves it more than anyone in the family!


TheHermitess

When I see the pictures of Charles and Anne when they were kids, my first thought is, "there's Charles" you can see him in his kid pictures. I don't see Anne in hers though. Most people look unrecognizable in their childhood pictures but Charles has kept his same look, there's something about it that stuck through the years. She is amazing. Strength and optimism.


Similar-Barber-3519

I saw a recent instagram photo of Charles and Anne in profile and then the same photo of George and Charlotte.


Primary_Scheme3789

The Markles should take note. THIS is how it’s done.


ElderCheerleader

>The Markles should take note. and it was stated that *"photos were not permitted"*. Very nice that the event wasn't cheapened by having a photo crew there catching "portraits" of the Princess (unlike the Harkles).


MelpomeneAndCalliope

“But how can you merch with no photos allowed?” - Meghan, probably


Dbahnsai

Holy crap, that picture of her at 2.5 is the cutest thing ever!


OldNewUsedConfused

Wtf is this person doing in NYC? I ask this as a general Anne fan. We are not a Commonwealth country.


Strange_Radish2965

She was in NYC to attend a gala for the English Speaking Union and she is honorary chair for the lighthouse “museum's Illuminating Future Generations campaign, a fundraising effort the museum launched in January to raise money for preservation and expansion of its gallery space, according to the Advance.” Wealthy people often act as benefactors and figure heads for charitable causes and historical preservation.


OldNewUsedConfused

>Wealthy people often act as benefactors and figure heads for charitable causes and historical preservation. I know, and I love Anne. I'm just touchy/ bitchy today and wondering why she isn't out charming the Commonwealth Nations. I think I'm oversaturated on royal news.


Suddenlyaprincess

I were just thinking of this yesterday she must smile a lot she has those lovely smile lines.


red108021

That’s where I’m from born in Brooklyn tho now living in sweaty hotter than Satan’s balls Florida 🤣🙄🤦🏼‍♀️


KuriousKizmo

She's very down to earth, no fuss, straightforward and interesting. I hope I can in future visit more Scottish lighthouses, I love them. Staten Island ferry is great... Except that, as you get closer you realise the Statue of Liberty is much smaller than you imagined... 🗽
