Is she? I thought she always kept quite a low profile. She certainly supports a lot of charities and doesn't normally seek publicity. On reading the article it appears horse charities think she is speaking good sense and I can see her reasoning behind this.

She is certainly her fathers daughter when it comes to opening her mouth before her brain engages into gear.hmm

I have eaten it, unwittingly at first in Belgium at a horsemeat and chips van. It was lovely, the only giveaway (in daylight) being yellowish fat. I couldn't tell the difference between it and stewing beef. I was ofered a horsemeat steak at a belgian friend's house a few years later - again, no difference. So, much as I love horses - why not? If they are going to be humanely killed, why waste them? I do hate waste. (If anyone wants a tough old bag to chew on after my own demise, they are very welcome!)

I sometimes think that Princess Anne is the sanest member of the family...

Horse? Very good, sweet and clean meat - I have no problem with it.

According to her single people should n't be occupying houses. The housing shortage is down to selfish people getting divorced. Oh wait a minute..... hmm

No I wouldn't. She has said stupid things before. Totally out of touch with the rest of the population.

Not many people keep cows, sheep or pigs as pets. Horses? Ah yes! Different. hmm

I have. Don't like it.

I think it would depend entirely on how hungry I was.

I do think she's brave to raise the issue and her passion for horses is well documented, so she presumably has the horse's best interest at heart.
