Princess Royal takes on South Africa mission as Charles mulls decision on Zara and Peter
King Charles is reportedly deliberating over Princess Anne’s requests concerning her children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, while entrusting her with a significant royal duty.
Anne, often referred to as the “hardest-working royal” since the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, is said to have urged her brother to reconsider granting royal titles to her children as recognition for her years of unwavering loyalty.
Before reaching a decision, the King has assigned Anne an important diplomatic role. On January 21st, she will travel to South Africa to represent Charles at the Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial, honouring over 1,700 predominantly Black South Africans who died during World War I.
Meanwhile, King Charles will undertake his own sombre trip to Poland to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day later that week.
According to RadarOnline, Anne has been reflecting on her earlier decision to keep Zara and Peter “duty-free” and is now reconsidering their potential roles within the royal family. An insider revealed, “For the first time, Anne wonders if it was a mistake. Having Zara and Peter on the roster could have been an extraordinary help this past year.”
The source noted Anne’s ongoing commitment to ensuring the King’s needs are met and her concern about the pressures he faces, especially as he continues his cancer treatment.
While speculation grows over Zara potentially assuming a more prominent royal role, questions remain about whether this aligns with her and Mike Tindall’s independent lifestyle. As Charles weighs his sister’s appeal, Anne’s dedication to the monarchy remains steadfast, underscoring her indispensable role within the royal family.
