The Princess Royal is consistently named the hardest working royal, year after year.
If you haven’t heard of Princess Anne , it’s because she’s keen to keep her head down and do the work—she is consistently the hardest working royal, year after year. She rarely ends up in the headlines but is today for an interview she gave in which, according to, she said older brother King Charles’ idea of a slimmed down monarchy “doesn’t look like a good idea from where I’m standing.”
Speaking to Canadian network CBC’s chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault, the Princess Royal said “Well, I think the ‘slimmed down’ was said in a day when there were a few more people around to make that seem like a justifiable comment,” she said. Famously—or infamously, perhaps—the working core of the royal family lost Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Andrew, all senior royals, within the past three years. Her parents also both passed away within that timeframe.
As to whether there are conversations surrounding the monarchy’s relevance, Anne said “There will be, everywhere. It’s not a conversation that I would necessarily have. I think it’s perfectly true that it s a moment where you need to have that discussion. But I would just underline that the monarchy provides, with the constitution, a degree of long-term stability that is actually quite hard to come by any other way.
