What a woman, she is 72 years old !! I can’t believe how amazing she has been in the last few days.

I always knew she was the most hardworking royal , but this week she has been outstanding.

What's she done?

BudgetBlast · 12/09/2022 20:36

Unreal. That 6 hour drive alone was phenomenal. She really is the most suited to be monarch of all of the queens offspring. Still that isn’t how it goes I guess.

EntertainingandFactual · 12/09/2022 20:37

I really like her. Also like her daughterZara.
Funny and down to earth.

Is she married?

bbcdefg · 12/09/2022 20:47

Really rate her. She's been undervalued I think. It was nice to see her taking her rightful place in the Vigil.

asblindasabat · 12/09/2022 20:48

Yes I really like Anne

Is she married?

Yes to Tim Laurence, I’ve seen him there on the coverage. She was divorced from her first husband captain mark phillips father of Peter and Zara

So pleased she broke with tradition at the Prince’s vigil and took her place there. I have always liked Anne, no nonsense, no royal titles for her grandchildren, I love her grandchildren, they are all so free spirited and look like they are always having fun, dressed in leggings / T-shirts etc. Must be incredibly tough for all of them right now, no matter how old your mother was, losing her is always tough. Especially with the eyes of the world on you

ladymalfoy45 · 12/09/2022 20:52

I think she's smashing.

crumpet · 12/09/2022 20:52

Agree

Horcruxe · 12/09/2022 20:53

Yup

womaninatightspot · 12/09/2022 20:55

I like her too if we were to have a vote on which of the queens offspring should get the throne I’d choose her.

PotatoHammock · 12/09/2022 20:55

I loved her ever since she showed that photo of her massively cluttered, total normal (OK, pretty enormous, but you know what I mean) living room. Made me feel as though I'm living like a princess!

Plump82 · 12/09/2022 20:55

I know nothing about her but saw this picture online and couldn't believe how beautiful she looked

Me too. I do like Charles and think he will make a good king but yes I think Anne would be excellent

Maireas · 12/09/2022 20:57

She visits bin depots, sewage plants, fish processing factories, whatever. No airs and graces. She says that she looks after all the grandchildren to give the parents a break - I bet those are fun times! She's probably not over zealous with health and safety!

milski · 12/09/2022 20:57

I wish she had been born first instead of Charles, although that wouldn't have made much difference back then! She embodies all the values that the Queen held dear. Barely put a foot wrong all her life.

Floralei · 12/09/2022 20:59

refused to be kidnapped. Just Not Having It. And that was that!

rockbottombird · 12/09/2022 20:59

Agree, she's fabulous!

PlentyOFool · 12/09/2022 20:59

I met her once through work years ago in Scotland. I'm Irish and not all fussed about the monarchy, but I liked her very much. Knew the brief, was lovely to everyone, v down to earth, didn't act like she'd rather be anywhere else, and we had a good laugh over Survivor which was huge at the time, and how Zara had decided they were all "a bunch of, I think the word was, 'wusses'"

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 12/09/2022 21:01

I think she's awesome

moggiek · 12/09/2022 21:01

Always loved Anne.

Hbh17 · 12/09/2022 21:01

She is absolutely fantastic.
