    @minanes6549 Год назад +67

    Princess Anne is admirable. She wanted to bring her children up as normally as possible, so refused to accept the royal titles for them, as children. This protected them from royal responsibilities, kept them out of the media's way, while she got on with her own job as a working royal. Result: well adjusted and apparently happy people with their own careers and families. Any other royals out there saying they want privacy and normal life for their kids just need to follow her example. Unless being a celebrity means more to them of course.

      I think it is the fact that she HASN'T been raised with that pressure of being potential monarch that has helped her develop into who she is.

    I can see her mother in her now. She’s no nonsense but down to earth and no airs and graces. Probably my favorite Royal now tbh. I don’t think Anne would have minded him putting his arms around her. My neighbour worked as a Butler to the Queen and said most of the Royal Family were surprisingly down to earth and liked to put people at their ease (apart from Andrew). It was the courtiers who fussed over protocol. We see that when King Charles accepted a kiss from a member of the public after the death of Her Majesty the Queen.

    The BBC in their infinite wisdom decided to change it, and now it's totally unwatchable, Well done the BBC.

    I never really watched this quiz show, being lousy at sports questions, seen a couple, all good fun, but I would have watched this one with Princess Anne. She seems to be such a sport herself.

      It used to be good fun & light hearted without being too silly like some TV quizzes are now. The real gem with having HRH on was the bit at the start of the clip when Emlyn mis-identified a photo of her as John Reid just a few shows earlier.
