Princess Anne is widely regarded as the “hardest working royal” and carried out a whopping 457 engagements in 2023.
Anne’s “genuine” nature and commitment to her royal duties are recognised by royal fans, with one writing: “Beautiful woman in mind spirit grace and dignity.”
Another admirer said about the princess: “What a woman, and very genuine and beautiful inside and out.”

On Thursday Anne will undertake two engagements in London including the Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch and Canada’s Presidential Council Recognition Dinner at Buckingham Palace.
Royal commentator Gertrude Daly also told GB News: “Princess Anne has always quietly done royal duties without much pomp and circumstance.
“She is the person who does the meat and potatoes of royal duties. The person you send when who you send isn’t too important.”

PAThe princess, dubbed as Charles’s “secret weapon,” consistently scores highly in the polls and was voted the third most popular royal in a recent study by YouGov.
Anne scored a 71 per cent positive rating and only 13 per cent of respondents held a negative view of the royal.
Daly continued: “Princess Anne has mostly just been keeping up with her own schedule of official engagements. But there have been some events like Investitures that Princess Anne has taken over that would usually be shared with King Charles and Prince William.
“I think Princess Anne is doing what she has always done throughout the ups and downs in the royal family, which is keep calm and carry on.”
