To think Princess Anne

Is proper hardcore and i'd like to be friends with her?

I have no real opinion on the royal family but she seems to have been made of steel, raised a normal family who in turn are raising a normal family.

Bashed in the head by a horse and back to work today.

Just a normal horsey girl. Dust yourself off and get on with it 😁

She's always been very stoic I think. A good 'un, for sure.

I liked it when she was hiding behind the curtain from Trump.

She’s very sensible.

The horsey girl mantra is "No one died, no boots were cut off and it was my left leg so I can still drive".

My daughter met her through work (she works for a charity Anne is connected with). Said she was great. Down to earth, funny, not intimidating and genuinely interested in the work they do. I’m more of a republican than a royalist, but if they were all like her I could get on board.

I think she worked out very early on that she needed to carve out a life for herself. Her first major good decision was not giving her children titles. OK Peter and Zara are well known BUT Zara did marry a very famous Rugby player so that has kept her profile high. Anne also worked out what kind of charities she was going to specialise in and has then got into great depth of knowledge. Thirdly after a not so happy first marriage she got together with Tim and they have now been together over 30 years. In the relatively few interviews she has done in the last few years she has provided some very solid reasoning to decisions made by her family. All in all, both her parents made her the rounded sensible person she is.

I think she's bloody brilliant. Down to earth and incredibly hard working.

Not the boots, please not the boots!

Never the boots 😁

Telling her foiled kidnapper "Not bloody likely!!" is typical of her forthright attitude to life. She's an absolute diamond.
