Tanya Curry, CEO of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, refutes the rumors about Princess Anne

Tanya Curry has addressed the rumors that questioned Princess Anne's vitality to continue fulfilling her responsibilities. Just days before the royal princess's 75th birthday, Curry shared an anecdote that clearly shows her unwavering energy and dedication. According to Tanya, the princess keeps a work pace as intense as it is admirable, refuting any doubts about her ability to face her duties.

Proof of this is that in 2025, Princess Anne has already made seven international trips, including visits to Ireland, South Africa, and Barbados. Her intense schedule confirms that she remains one of the most active and committed royals to her duties. This constant pace reinforces her image as a tireless figure within the royal family.

Her energy is not only physical but also mental. This has become clear in recent visits. During a visit to the Leeds Rhinos rugby team, Tanya tried to keep up with the princess without success. Her vitality amazed even those who accompanied her on the tour.

She recounted that the princess climbed some stairs during a visit with impressive agility, "like a mountain goat." Trying to keep up with her was a challenge, but that shows Anne's strength.

A birthday celebration with few complications

Regarding her birthdays, Princess Anne prefers discreet and simple celebrations. Roya Nikkah, royal editor of The Sunday Times, revealed that Anne has a clear "policy": to hold events only on birthdays ending in zero. This avoids large parties and keeps a low profile.

The princess is already planning a gradual reduction of her duties. According to Roya, Anne will begin to slow down at 80 years old and will retire completely at 90. This way, she is preparing for a future with fewer responsibilities without losing her essence.

This news highlights Princess Anne's energy, commitment, and practical sense, who remains an essential and admired figure in the royal family. Her testimony proves that, despite the years, the princess keeps an active and respected role.
