Yes I liked that comment too maddyone.
I didn't realise it was on. Thanks.

Another fan of Princess Anne here. Very hard working and as down to earth as a royal can be. Pity she won't be queen, I think she'd be as wonderful as her mother.

She seems to do the job with minimal fuss, recycles her clothes, refused titles for her children, so all in all, she's ok.

I like Princess Anne very much. No airs and graces, just gets on with the job very professionally, and calls a spade a spade.
I loved her comment to the would be kidnappers all those years ago. When told to get out of the car by the kidnapper, she answered ‘Not bloody likely.’ I love it!

Yes I like her and I think she does a lot of work but doesn’t go on about it. Just like Sophie Wessex she seems lovely too.

I’m no great admirer of the Royals but I am going to watch this.
I think Anne is the most ‘normal‘ ‘of the lot and I do think she cares about what she does. I quite like the way she seems to take no b ****t.

Looking forward to watching this documentary about the Princess Royal as her 70th birthday approaches.
ITV 9pm this evening.

There is a clip in the daily newspapers (online) about how Anne helped her Mum the Queen to take part in a zoom conference.

Zoom wasn't my radar until covid19 lockdown.
