Princess Anne shares light-hearted personal insight amid royal family title rumours.
Princess Anne, often celebrated as the royal family’s hardest-working member, made rare personal remarks during her recent visit to South Africa, where she attended the South African Riding for the Disabled Association.
Known for her love of horses, the Princess Royal delighted attendees by engaging with young riders. When asked by 11-year-old Lashwil, “How many ponies do you have?” Anne smiled and quipped, “More than I should have,” sparking laughter.
Her visit coincided with growing speculation, reported by Radar Online, that Anne had made a personal request to her brother, King Charles III, for royal titles for her children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips. The claims have drawn attention due to Anne’s decision years ago to forgo royal titles for her children. The Palace has yet to confirm or deny the reports.
Princess Anne’s trip to South Africa comes as her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, recovers from a "suspected torn ligament" in the UK. Despite his absence, Anne has continued to fulfill her royal duties with her usual commitment.
As the royal family navigates personal and public challenges, Anne remains a steadfast figure, balancing her responsibilities with her sharp wit and down-to-earth nature.
