In a dramatic twist within the British royal family, Princess Anne, the King’s sister, has made bold and candid comments regarding her sister-in-law, Queen Camilla.
Known for her directness and strong sense of duty, the Princess Royal has been causing waves with her outspoken views on her brother’s wife, as royal insiders reveal growing tensions between the two.
At 74, Princess Anne commands immense respect from the British public, and has earned a reputation as a tireless worker, consistently maintaining one of the highest numbers of public engagements within the royal family.
Often referred to as “the queen Britain will never have,” Anne’s unwavering commitment to royal duties has solidified her position as a steady hand within the family.
Despite this, her relationship with Camilla, who has been Queen since Charles ascended the throne, has faced significant strain.
Despite these tensions, over the years, Princess Anne and Queen Camilla have managed to build a more cordial relationship. Anne has acknowledged Camilla’s commitment to her royal duties, noting that while this role may not have been something she was naturally inclined to, Camilla performs it well, bringing a different tone and pace to the family’s public appearances.
Harry’s remarks about Camilla and Kate have reportedly been particularly painful for the family, especially since the women cannot publicly respond. Disagreements within a family, particularly those involving a father or brother, are to be expected, but attacking one’s sister-in-law or stepmother, who cannot defend herself in the public eye, has caused a deeper level of distress within the family.
