Wearing our late loved one's clothes is the sort of thing we all do — a poignant way to keep them close. It's also very Princess Anne and one reason she continues to poll among the most popular royals in the UK's monarchy.

"London was to me school days ... weekends were at Windsor ... where there was a farm, mostly dairy but there were pigs and chickens as well. My background ... was always on the farm."Fitting in royal work with running her farm is a juggle, but like her mother and the King, the public service side of her job is non-negotiable. "We as a family see ourselves as there to support ," she said in a 2023 interview with CBC in Canada, ahead of her brother's coronation.
The comment caused a few raised eyebrows, but there is no sign that the King is about to call on the likes of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice or recall Prince Harry and Meghan from the US to swell the ranks with an injection of youth.When the Queen was crowned, Princess Anne was second in line to the throne. Today she is 17th behind many non-working royals and both of her younger brothers.
"I think even then it was easy to see that it was a very mixed blessing," Princess Anne told me when I interviewed her in 2020. "And in my case because I was female, no advantages at all, really.
