Grant discusses his memories of Princess Anne, who is regarded as one of the British Royal Family’s hardest working Royals. #PrincessAnne #BritishRoyals #Royals
My mum loved her ( mother now been dead). My mother lived in a small very working class town. P. Ann was driving through the town on her way to an engagement, my mum standing on the corner as she drove past. P. Ann seeing her , leaned over to her winder, waved a gave a big smile. You have no idea how much my mum loved that; and told everyone about the day , right up until the day she die. It made her so happy.
Princess Anne and I are the same age. I have followed her life from afar for several decades. Anne is straightforward and direct with a no-nonsense manner. Her home is lovely. I m sure she misses her father, Prince Philip quite a bit.I appreciate her loyalty and devotion to Queen Elizabeth. She is a great example of diligent hard work and dedication for the younger royal family members.
Yes for far too long, others have taken the spotlight, but its never dented her personality. And I always think I could get along working for her as I admire her straightforward no nonsense attitude. I also think she has a very soft centre but not for sycophants.
Princess Anne is so nice and hardworking. She reminds me of Prince Philip. Same approach in matters at hand , same discipline. Princess Anne also has been a member of the military service. Her style changed the uniforms for female soldiers. I find it also a wise decision to decline the titles for her children since Princess Anne knows first hand the heavy duties and restrictions of such a title.
SHE'S a good example also A beauty and wise woman. True she enjoyed her horses and Sarah also. Inspiring person. Interesting her enjoying RUGBY....WE SOUTH AFRICANS LIKE THIS. SHE IS AN ABSOLUTELY FUN LOVING PERSON WHO ENJOYS LIFE TO THE FULLEST. BUT ALSO AN INTEGRITY FAIR PERSON. SO MUCH APPRECIATED. CLASSY PROGRAM. INGRID SOUTH AFRICA.
Princess Ann is one of my favourite she is very hard working and amazing just love her I think she would have made a great Queen just like her mum Queen Elizabeth may God bless her.
Princess Anne has set the bar very high for future royals to emulate because her dedication, honesty and sincerity is evident for everyone to see. She is a wonderful supporter to her mother.
The affection between father and daughter really shows in the family photo where Princess Anne and the D of E are smiling at each other. Thank you for sharing your insights.
,Quakegirl NZ, I missed you too and I thought it has to be too much sometime to set the clock for the middle of the night. But how wonderful we can watch the video anytime. Maybe next chat?! Hope you are well, my friend!!
@@joanl.5928 You are a dear! I sat up most of the night before waiting for the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue. I like it a lot, I would love to see it up close. I do enjoy the little community that watches TRB's premieres, and yes we are so lucky to be able to watch both the video and the live chat afterwards. Enjoy your week Joan, I do hope to see you at the next premier!
Princess Anne’s personality seems the most like the late Prince Philip, no nonsense, to the point. An extremely dedicated member of the RF with a amazing work ethic. You never hear of her whining or complaining. She is an inspiration.
Fiercely loyal to her parents and the Monarchy and its role in the service of Charity .Such a woman to admire..one that walks the walk and not just talks word salad.
You know I knew nothing about her. She’s been a very attractive women. She seems like a no nonsense kind of woman. Very dedicated to her mom the Queen. Always well put together yes it’s to bad she can’t be Queen she would keep it like it should be as Royals I get change but it can make quite a mess when you change tradition. 🇺🇸♥️🇬🇧 I have grown a new respect for Princess Ann 💕
I met Prince Charles once and he was very personable and knowledgeable. Of course I was nervous but he put everyone at ease. It is a beautiful memory. I very much enjoy your videos. They are full of interesting tidbits and every time I learn something. Thank you for your time and effort.
Thank you for this Video Good Sir..... I adore The Princess Royal, The Princess Anne. We are of the same Age and of the same Work Ethic. Princess Anne is my Second Favorite Royal after the Queen. Princess Charlotte is next in line for the Title of The Princess Royal.
HRH Princess “Tigress” Anne! What beautiful pictures! I love how she inherited her mother ‘s (HRH Queen Elizabeth) beautiful complexion! They both can look beautiful no matter what color outfit they wear! Also Zara who looked so stunning in her driving outfit was a real WOW!
I admire both Princess Anne and the Duchess of Cornwall because they both seem down to earth, intelligent, and not interested in flirting with the press.
Yes Princess Anne would make a wonderful Queen. Imagine how different the monarchy would be. Thanks Grant. You do a great presentation and speak in a very caring and wIth genuine love of the Royal family. Ive learned a lot about Royal life., upstairs and down. 🥰
But noone would have been a more effective & BELOVED Queen as Elizabeth ll - "Long live the Queen!". And @ the very least long enough for her to enjoy all of the amazing (& historical!) celebrations of her Platinum Jubilee next yr!
the fellow had already SHOT her guard and a police officer who came upon them, then told her to get into his car. She replied that she was NOT getting into his bleeping car, and drove off in her own with the injured men...
@@kittyfan What a harrowing experience. Perhaps this experience explains somewhat why she seems to have nerves of steel. She certainly is not one to shy away.
@@christinabacon7412 i heard that was what she told an interviewer later. (I saw the interview) Rumour was that the actual statement that night was MUCH saltier. All the best to you!!
Thank you Grant, for your highly respectful Royal Family info & insights. It's well known that the Queen has always intensely disliked family conflicts & a well respected royal journalist said that Princess Anne is so completely trusted by her family that her mother, Prince Charles & Prince William have put her in charge of managing the very sensitive 'situation' w/ Prince Harry & his wife.
Anne was a perfect family member to look after a touchy Situation I don't think Meghan will have enough Moxie to bully Princess Anne. Zara and Peter, are very confident in their duties and very Respectful.
@@marilynsarkis2304 Zara was reported in a localmagazine as telling Meghan not to mess with my mother. Great. I'm glad she is in charge of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. With Abit of luck she will be able to protect her mother from her outrageous nephew. Camilla has the love of books, overtly, so maybe they have some influence with the booksellers.
I'm so glad to find this Channel & hear about Princess Anne. I'm 78 years old and I was a little girl when she was born. I've watched her and Charles grow up.
Princess Ann is fab ! I love her no nonsense, straight forward approach. She says what she thinks to your face. She comes across as very practical and hard working, just down to earth. She has my utmost respect! 😊👌🏼
It was my understanding that Princess Anne had her second wedding in Scotland because the Church of Scotland had a different view on divorcees to that if the Church of England at that time. It was lovely that Zara also chose Scotland for her wedding though
@@linrob1312 Personally I would not have given them permission for a full church wedding but they should have followed Charles and Camilla who married in Windsor Registry Office and received a blessing in St. George's Chapel. I doubt HM expected That Woman would wear white for what was her 3rd wedding ceremony and must have been shocked by That Woman dressing as a virginal bride.
Princess Royal Ann is my favorite Royal. Congratulations, Princess Ann, for receiving the highest honor as Knight of the Garter. The Princess, who should be Queen...
Princess Anne is my favourite Royal. She should be queen. She has worked damn hard just like her mother and runs circles around all her brothers combined.
Thank you. So enjoyable. Forgot about the kidnap attempt. Thank God she came out of that safely. She's a hardworking person and gives the impression (to me, an American) that she loves the people.
No she doesn’t. She said in a speech that the officials she meets every day - a Mayor, CEO of the local Council, the Charity people…..all those “must have worked hard to be in those positions” she said. Those are the people she meets and respects. She doesn’t particularly ‘like’ people. They’re ‘part of the job’. And children? She also said, in their engagement interview with Mark, “Well that’s part of marriage you can’t escape” or words meaning that!!
@@margaretlavender9647 "She doesn't particularly like people!" If that was the case then, then Anne wouldn't be able to do her job as well as she does. Being outspoken as she is she'd probably tell people to 'Bog off.' As for not liking children then why would she have had two of her own in the first place? For goodness sake, she adores her son and daughter and has her grandchildren most weekends. This video is a beautiful tribute of a much loved and admirable member of the RF and you choose, sadly, to make it negative. Shame on you!
@@suzannechapman4302 No no no! You misunderstand me! Put it the other way round……she thinks people who do worthwhile work are always ‘good’ to meet when she’s doing her engagements. I went to a talk she gave and she said this herself, that they do a civic worthwhile job/volunteer. She just tolerates the crowds there to see her as a necessary part of her ‘job’!! until she spots someone she sees fairly frequently, as she did with me as I always called out to her and gave her flowers. First time, she asked where the flowers were from, and I said ‘ Oh always from my garden’. By the third time, she immediately said as she took the flowers “And they ARE from your garden of course?” “Naturally. And will be the next time too” I replied. And I live near where some Court Officials live and talking to the wife at a village event, it was when Zara was a few months old, and she said that Anne “is absolutely besotted with the baby. She adores her”. I guess she’s the same with all her grandchildren! So no shame in me at all. I like Anne’s forthrightness and I’m the same.
@@suzannechapman4302 PS. Do you remember Anne was deeply criticised - by the press of course - several Christmases ago in the 1990s if I remember, after Sandringham church when all the senior royals chat to the crowd. It was a bitterly cold day but crowds of people, and Anne approached a woman, either middle aged or elderly, and the lady told her she always comes on Christmas Day to see the royal family and Anne simply retorted very sharply “What a ridiculous thing to do”. And walked on. The lady was in tears and people around who had heard Anne, were also not best pleased. So, I guess Anne just has her moments!! She’s the hardest working member of the royal family, and the Queen knows it and appreciates it, especially in these troubled two years with Harry. My, she must be missing her father.
I really like the way you present the Royal Family. Not like that other mouthpiece who worked for Princess Diana who runs off at the mouth every second day 🤦♀️
She attends engagements almost every day! Including weddings in Scotland and her scores of other charities. It was very cool 😎 and awesome that she dismissed the titles for her children. She’s her father’s woman, and fighting for what’s right!
Hi Grant. Love your videos… Royal chef Darryl Mcgrady recent video about the Princess of Wales. He recalls some good and funny moments and personal interactions with Diana… hope we can get that from your videos too with any of the royal family. greetings from 🇨🇦
My FAVOURITE Butler!!!.....I know so many!!!.😉..I watched her interview with Parkinson after the attempted kidnapping...She's a treat!...ps...LOVE her Aussie accent!
@@TheRoyalButler...RB,I actually had pizza yesterday, so I ate it with a knife and fork instead of 'just shove it in'!...Did it taste any different?...No! Was there more washing up?...Yes!...So WHO was the clever clogs that came up with THAT idea in the 1st place RB?...
It’s a shame Princess Royal cannot be a Queen . She’ll definitely will make an excellent Queen and the shenanigans will stop immediately. Hope that HMTQ do something about that and put Princess Royal on the line on succession.
Anne IS in the line of succession. Automatically. She was born second in line. With the births of Wm’s children, she is now - hang on let me count on my fingers! Charles, William, George, Charlotte, Louis, Harry, Archie, Lili, Andrew, Beatrice then her expected baby, Eugenie and her baby, Edward, son James and daughter Louise. NOW, Anne! So that makes her Number 17. With son Peter 18, and his girls, and Zara and her children. And so it goes on……
Bother, I slept through the alarm ☹️ TRB, Aren't telephones and asumptions tricky things (I'm still chuckling away). You have the best stories and a fine gift for story telling. I thoroughly enjoyed this one on such a remarkable lady as The Princess Royal. Thank you!
There’s a video about The Princess Royal and her daughter Zara on the occasion of HRH’s 70th birthday. Zara says she and her brother remain very grateful that they were raised the way they were.
Grant, I so enjoy these discussions and your personal take on it. You are performing a valuable service for those of us who are interested in taking just a slight peek at how this world works. You had a unique vantage point. People often have a slightly contemptuous view of servants. To me a dutiful and respectful servant has a much better real feel take on their employees. Certainly much better than either a well known proff author or commentator on Royals. Again, I will keep names out. But, I believe some might have an inkling as to who I'm referring, too. Her name has 2 C's. Both first and last 😊. "Lady....Fill in blanks" Lol. Well, She tries to speak with such authority and so - called expertise that inevitably she comes off as quite presumptuous. Totally opposite of you. I looked up several of her assertions and she often contradicts herself on statements she's made earlier on whatever given subject. In any event, Without any disrespect to Prince Charles and these succession rules that are thousands of years old. I , too, would have enjoyed seeing Princess Anne next in line. She would have been perfect. She's tough. No fuss. In hindsight, her reaction to the kidnapping attempt which I heard plenty of times now seems a bit comical. Although, I'm sure she wasn't feeling that at the time. Please continue doing your work, sir. BTW...I would have loved to see your commentary on the Queen mother had you served for her. I hear she was a delight and had a merry way about her.
P.S. I saw you properly opening a bottle of champagne on a video from You Can’t Get The Staff. There was also a clip of you with Lady Colin Campbell. Did you ever work for her???
7/9/21....Princess Ann has natural grace + seems "at ease"/perfectly normal + "down to earth". She also seems to have a GREAT sense of humor. I see the Queen in her but esp I see Prince Philip on her!
Princesa Anna é Admirável. Foi uma filha maravilhosa aos sus PAÍS. Desde crianca meiga .com cuidadosa com sua família. Carinhosa com sua amada mãe e seu pai. Todo meu RESPEITO a Senhora 👸🏻🇧🇷
I think even those that didn't, now appreciate Princess Anne and all her hard work. Supporting her mother now has not gone unnoticed. Really enjoying your channel
Enjoyed your "matter of fact" writ about Princess Anne. And your calming way of speaking. Appreciated. Keep safe so you can *have the last dance " with Princess Anne.
Michael Parkinson interviewed Princess Ann and her then Husband Captain Mark Phillips... She's has a Dry Sense of Humour... When she was young she was Fiesty and had a Dislike of the Press. A Beautiful Bride. An Admirable Woman❤❤❤
Thank you. Princess Ann was always held up as the model for the perfect girl, when I was growing up in Adelaide Australia... the question asked was " Would Princess Ann do that?" LOL...
Soooo Sad., That Peter divorced his lovely wife Autumn, yet I love how Princess Anns Family still care about her. In that She still lives on the same property she previously did!
Princess Anne is a strong, independent and resilient woman with class, grace and smarts. She is a great role model and a no-nonsense individual. That duchess (not Catherine) could learn a thing or two from her and she would be all the better for it. Truly an inspiring woman!
