Can't help but like Anne. She's almost my mums age and they both seem to come from a generation that just keeps on without complaint or drama.

Princess Anne is an absolute legend, happy birthday

She’s always been one of my favourite royals.

What an amazing woman. "Not bloody likely!" to a gun wielding kidnapper attempting to get her into his car.

Virtually everything under the radar but she keeps going without publicly complaining.

If she's virtually under the radar what's her point?

Anyways. She benefited massively from the immense perks of her parentage prevalent before the late 90's and is now (along with her grasping but also seemingly under the radar dc) sitting pretty.

Why after 70+ years would she bite the hand that continues to feed her and hers so munificently?

I liked her until I heard an interview with her recently basically downplaying slavery and the wealth the Royals made from it.

I think I saw that particular interview. A poster linked it on here on another thread with her name on it.

She was being interesting and I was thinking ‘oh she’s a good egg’. I’d always thought she was a straightforward person, and by RF standards, a hard enough worker. My heart went out to her when she was shepherding her mother’s body around the country.

But near the end of the interview, when asked about addressing the wrongs of the past in regard to Slavery she almost waved it away. And inferred that Charles would not be doing anything to address the issue of the RF and past Slavery, and said that modern slavery & trafficking was the thing that needs to be addressed now

Both - modern Slavery and past Slavery - need to be addressed. Past Slavery and the involvement of the British Monarchy needs to be explored and apologised for. Past wrongs acknowledged, and where possible made right as much as possible. Both need to be looked at. It is not a case of one or the other.

Around 16.30 Interview with Princess Anne. Anne addresses the Slavery of the past and now.

IMO, The past is not past, as they say. People and institutions still reflect the many centuries of historical Slavery. What went before affects us now. It needs to be examined.

She also said to the press she made the racist comment that Harry talked about.

Hang on, where the heck did that come from??

I'm aware that "Lady" Colin Campbell claims to know it was Anne who said whatever it was, but then she claims a lot of things and few of them make sense and even fewer come with proof

Presumably you have some though, or you wouldn't have posted this?

It was a bit strange when she said she wouldn't go there and then promptly did.
She also dismissed Charles' plans for a slimmed down monarchy as not sounding like a good idea in the same interview.

She's every bit as as entitled and arrogant as the rest of them - see the conviction for having a dangerously out of control dog that bit two children. I really have no idea how she's managed to sell herself as hard-working and pleasant.

Her PR team must be working overtime.

I’ve never understood how her popularity is so completely untainted by that. Plus one of her dogs killed one of the Queen’s corgis.

Agree with you. It's all just PR.
