Princess Anne, known for her strong character and discretion, has always been one of the most reserved figures within the British royalty. Although her name doesn't always make the headlines, her role in the monarchy has been essential.
Now, several rumors about her relationship with other family members, especially with Meghan Markle, are confirmed. Over time, there has been speculation about how Queen Elizabeth II's daughter has perceived the attitude of some members of the royalty.
All rumors about Princess Anne are confirmed
Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, is the active member of the royalty who attends the most official events on behalf of the royal family. Her tireless commitment to the Crown, however, hasn't always been well received by everyone.
Her ability to fulfill her duty has placed her in a distant position with some of the more media-focused family members. One of the episodes that has gained relevance in recent years is the encounter between Princess Anne and Meghan Markle.
According to aristocratic expert Neil Sean, Anne didn't take long to make a clear diagnosis of Meghan's situation within the monarchy. As soon as the actress asked her for advice, Anne made it clear what being part of the royalty entailed.
"It's not a functional monarchy, it's a job: you arrive on time, do your work, and fulfill your duty," she reportedly said. This direct approach surprised Meghan, who, according to sources, was "stunned" by the princess's frankness.
Princess Anne was very tough on Meghan Markle
Princess Anne's warning wasn't a simple recommendation but a precise analysis of what awaited Meghan. Anne, like her late father, the Duke of Edinburgh, is known for not beating around the bush and for being extremely candid.
The princess immediately saw that Meghan Markle wouldn't fit the mold, predicting that her stay in the royal family would be brief. Just two years later, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to move to California, in what became known as "Megxit."
Anne's advice, which emphasized the importance of genuine commitment to royal causes, proved to be an accurate forecast. The princess has always stressed that it is essential to be deeply and genuinely involved.
