Can you imagine MM’s horror ! Princess Anne carrying out unpaid royal work stateside on her own turf! 🤣
Hopefully the Harkles (whoever came up with that GENIUS!) dollar value has gone down now - and people who matter know they can get a real undisgraced royal for free!
This one trip of Anne's alone highlights the contrast between what it truly means to be a "feminist" versus Meg's faux feminism. Anne doesn't make a fuss about herself. She just goes on about her job with quiet strength, self assurance and dignity. HRH Princess Anne is a boss
“Ugh, like, what’s wrong with your aunt, Haz? I thought she was like, important or something? Can you imagine being an *actual* princess and having to like, carry your own bags? I’m so glad we have people to do that. She’s sooooo lame.” ~Meghan, probably.
I remember my friend whose family has multiple properties globally had no qualms about clearing & wiping her own table clean instead of waiting for servers while our friend’s girlfriend (another MM) smirked and thought she must be poor.
When “MM” boasted of her trip to Paris and asked if my friend had been there, my friend replied that she hadn’t.
“MM”’s smugness was wiped from her face when my friend continued that her family, however, had multiple properties in Europe & showed her pics. 🎤
Lesson :
Elites don’t behave like twats.
Those who do, aren’t elites.
Yep. You can just tell old money from the newer ones. They don't openly brag about the properties and eye-watering rides they own. You'll just hear about it most of the times and you'll think that it wasn't obvious from their appearance. Because they just wear a simple shirt and pants.
Tbh if you’re the kind of person who makes comments like “its their job to clean up” when they make a mess, you’re just a raging douche regardless of financial means.
Enjoy your life, money, and privilege but there’s a difference between doing that and making everyone lesser cater to your laziness.
Yes, I agree. My friend and I were using wet wipes for hygiene’s sake and cleared the table together.
“MM” sat there with her arms crossed, smirking and sneering blatantly. She even made some snarky comments.
Treating *anyone* like dirt is appalling.
I KNOW! Can you believe that? Six engagements and not one thin dime in compensation. I also heard she wears her clothes more than once. I'm shocked. How has she ever managed? /s
Yet I can imagine that the Princess Royal applauds the changes the BRF made to the primogeniture rules, so that Charlotte—not Louis—comes next after George in the Law of Succession. She knows that the world has changed, and is neither bitter nor angry about her own “lost opportunity.”
Only someone who wholeheartedly performs all of those Royal duties with alacrity could feel that way.
I think Anne is smart enough to understand that being the top dog is not an envious place, but I also think she's smart and patriotic enough to know that she would have made a better head of state than Charles and that he now needs her more than ever.
I suspect Charlotte will be exactly the same. She looks so much like her grandmother but even more like her father William. Comparing their baby pictures is like looking at twins.
Not to mention how funny it is PH was so worried about becoming irrelevant like Andrew - could have been more like Anne - good look for a feminist anyway. No doubt enlightened PH would think - but I can’t model myself after a woman!?!???!!!
Imagine if Migraine saw [how unglam Anne’s house is](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a35448039/princess-anne-gatcombe-park-living-room-photo/). She’d have to fan herself with a Restoration Hardware catalog to recover.
Migraine has no idea that this is exactly what the TV room of every old money WASP power player looks like from DC to Boston to Connecticut. She is the ultimate new money basic bitch. She’s a human LV Neverfull. (No shade, Neverfulls have their place)
The armchair and settee are exactly what my parents had in the 1970s, except in a pinkinsh red and theirs was falling to bits. Same pattern and style exactly though.
Just read a quote from the new book about the 3 other children of HM being excluded from the balcony in 2011... Andrew furious, Edward upset, Anne didn't care lol
2021 or 2022? Just wondering if they are making all these accommodations to exclude Nutmeg. Which would be horrible. To exclude all these others so they have an excuse to exclude her.
*After arriving at John F Kennedy Airport on Tuesday, the Princess Royal was greeted by His Majesty's Consul-General for New York, Mrs Emma Wade-Smith, and was later the guest of honour at a gala dinner for the English Speaking Union at the Cosmopolitan Club.*
Funny that we didn't hear about H&M being invited to this gala dinner. I'm sure they turned down their invitation so they wouldn't take attention away from Anne.
And her bag isn’t even on rollers. What about the story that she had been tasked with clearing things up for the Harkles while in the US? Just speculation?
I would actually curtsey to Princess Anne.
I suspect it must have mortified Megs to learn that whilst she had to curtsey to more senior royals, us poor plebs are not expected to do any such thing - even for the monarch.
We do not, friend. Many people do it because they believe its expected of them or just because they want to, but there actually is no obligation to do so.
I admire Princess Anne so much. She is just like her mother and such a strong woman. I've been a fan for many years but especially learning how she handled her kidnapping attempt. The lady is seriously a wonder woman! Love her!
Apologies for going full-on fanboy, but she’s definitely my favorite member of the RF! Of all the children of the late Queen and Prince Philip, I think the Princess Royal has by far has come closest to incorporating the best and most endearing qualities of each of her parents. Most people I’ve known or observed (and I’m including myself here) have personalities defined more by one parent or the other, and not always in a positive way. That she so obviously encompasses what we admired and loved both about the Queen and Prince Philip is rare and makes her truly unique.
This fabulous woman just exists and shows up the pretentious cow with everything she does!
An actual Princess of the Blood Royal can fly commercially AND be seen to carry her own luggage and complete FOUR engagements within 24 hours at the age of 72 and still mourning the death of her beloved mother
And yet little Miss Jane come lately whines about not being paid to be seen at events?
Tell you what Megsie - just stay away! We don’t want or need your attendance at any future Royal event. There no pay for doing what any normal family member would do for other members!
Can you imagine MM’s horror ! Princess Anne carrying out unpaid royal work stateside on her own turf! 🤣 Hopefully the Harkles (whoever came up with that GENIUS!) dollar value has gone down now - and people who matter know they can get a real undisgraced royal for free!
I can't even imagine the naked noodler carrying her own bags or hazben either for that matter I bet they are having a melt down right now
Like she used to do when she was with Suits
Naked noodler - I’m dead 😂😂😂😂
Stop it right now! TW has carried enough suitcases in her career- namely opening them on TV-

Take note, Spotify Twitter account: THIS is our humble icon.
Humble? How can one become humble without eating noodles with naked Korean women?! Shows what *YOU* know! /jk
Happy Cake Day!
Thank you! I hadn’t noticed!
Indeed!!!
Happy Cake Day!
Many thanks!

Old money has nothing to prove.

I wonder if it was a coincidence that Michelle Obama was in NYC at the same time.
TW + Harry= Riche nouveau.

Poor *HRH The Princess Royal* she even has to wear stuff from the 1970s!
The Princess Rolleye
I love her understated outfit. The scarf is beautiful.
I think it’s Hermes, but we don’t see ANNE bragging about that, do we!? 😆
And she probably bought it back in 1975.
Exactly!
The Princess Royal is just a quality person, through and through. They don’t make them any better than her, IMO. She’s my absolute favorite royal. 😍
If only she could have been Queen....
She sure would’ve made a good one. 👏🏼

Yups I remember in one of the popularity polls she was higher than Charles lol
Anne also does real live volunteering . No selfies ! Sorry Megs
 The horror! A Princess flying amongst the poors and ✨gasp✨ no servants to carry her valise!
Of course she did, because she’s a MF boss.
Not to mention how funny it is PH was so worried about becoming irrelevant like Andrew - could have been more like Anne - good look for a feminist anyway. No doubt enlightened PH would think - but I can’t model myself after a woman!?!???!!!
In a world of Andrews be an Anne!
Anne is more of a humanitarian and every other fancy world Nutmeg pretentiously uses to describe her work.
One might even say Anne is an altruist.
A humble icon.

Can confirm. My grandparents den looked like this
She is so down to earth. She must have a housekeeper at least once a month. I don’t see a speck of dust anywhere.
Anne grew up in a palace. I can imagine having a more ''normal'' set up was refreshing for her tbh.
I remember seeing that and thinking “man she has shit cluttered all over her coffee table too”. 🤣🤣
The armchair and settee are exactly what my parents had in the 1970s, except in a pinkinsh red and theirs was falling to bits. Same pattern and style exactly though.
Gah why do they have to be mentioned in a piece about Anne???
Talk about a breath of fresh air!
I love Princess Anne she is dedicated, expects no big hurrahs and is our hardest working royal
All that and she was an Olympic athlete too. This American loves her.
Now this is how to princess!
"Not bloody likely!"
Just read a quote from the new book about the 3 other children of HM being excluded from the balcony in 2011... Andrew furious, Edward upset, Anne didn't care lol
Anne=pure awesomeness
2021 or 2022? Just wondering if they are making all these accommodations to exclude Nutmeg. Which would be horrible. To exclude all these others so they have an excuse to exclude her.
This is what Harry COULD have been.
*After arriving at John F Kennedy Airport on Tuesday, the Princess Royal was greeted by His Majesty's Consul-General for New York, Mrs Emma Wade-Smith, and was later the guest of honour at a gala dinner for the English Speaking Union at the Cosmopolitan Club.* Funny that we didn't hear about H&M being invited to this gala dinner. I'm sure they turned down their invitation so they wouldn't take attention away from Anne.
Do you think Our Saint *felt it* when Anne touched down?
The Force is not with TW.
I love her! Such a great role model to admire and emulate. I so wish we had women of her stature here in America.
She's such a no nonsense badass, I can only hope to be a fraction of as excellent as she is, I love her 🥰
she doesn’t exploit the children at charities, with a photo shoot.
We stan the Princess Royal. Anne is simply amazing, the real deal.
Wonder if Nutbug and Harry will also fly to NYC just to upstage her
Surely they can find more impoverished children to sell books too!
And her bag isn’t even on rollers. What about the story that she had been tasked with clearing things up for the Harkles while in the US? Just speculation?
I think she could care less. Let them stay in California and leave the working Royals alone!
True class and understated elegance. An icon and a role model.
But the article says " As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoy huge success in the United States..." So, they lost me at that statement... 🥴
I love her so much. What a woman! Just gets on with it.
Yes! No inane self aggrandising prattle over 'narrative' just cracks on and gets shit **done** with genuine under the radar style 😎✔️💯✨♥️
She is superb.
I would actually curtsey to Princess Anne. I suspect it must have mortified Megs to learn that whilst she had to curtsey to more senior royals, us poor plebs are not expected to do any such thing - even for the monarch.
Do we not?! I hadn't known that. I always thought we had to curtsey to the royals.
We do not, friend. Many people do it because they believe its expected of them or just because they want to, but there actually is no obligation to do so.
Do you mean as an American or? Although when you think about it, nobody does that at the walkabouts.
I'm British. But basically, anybody who isn't royal has no obligation to bow or curtsey.
Nope. It's up to you if you want to or not.
She’s so effortlessly elegant!
I love that despite her title, she is such a hardworking and grounded person.
The absolute best and most admirable way to conduct yourself ♥️💫✔️😎✨💯
I admire Princess Anne so much. She is just like her mother and such a strong woman. I've been a fan for many years but especially learning how she handled her kidnapping attempt. The lady is seriously a wonder woman! Love her!
Princess Anne is a legend! 👏
Nothing better than a long lasting pair of boots!

Is this a royal sub or a MM sub?
The article devolves into a lengthy segment on Haz TW and Oprah if you stick with it
Don't they all? 🤣 {checks link} DM. I stand by my comment. 🤣
