  • An excerpt taken from the BBC documentary ‘A Question of Sport at 50’ which looks back at half a century of the popular sports quiz, focusing on Princess Anne’s famous appearance on the 200th episode of the show in 1987, a few weeks after team captain Emlyn Hughes had mistaken her for jockey John Reid. It was watched by 19 million people.

  • @minanes6549
    @minanes6549 Год назад +66

    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 remember watching this at the time. Emelyn was all over the place and so unsure of what he was doing. He was very tactile, so not being able to put his arm around her was a struggle.

    What a pitty that Princess Anne is not going to be the next monarch. That may be a blessing in disguise, but just imagine her as the Queen. She would be an absolute BOSS, great sense of humour, very athletic even to this day and well versed within the Monarchy.

      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.
      Charles and William simply COULDN'T do the same things in the same way, lest it be seen as too undignified or risky.
