Re: Prince Harry on Our Queen at Ninety.
I have respect for Anne, Peter and Zara. They are the most down to earth of the lot. And Anne's sense of humour is wicked!Respecting the remark 'The Queen looks fantastic for her age', everyone can look so if they lead the pampered wealthy life she has. None of my grandparents reached 80, in fact, my grandfathers didn't even reach 70. They worked hard during their entire lives. My mother never reached 80 either.

In 2014 Her Royal Highness carried out over 528 engagements in the UK and overseas.

I think the kidnap attempt probably had a lot to do with this.

If the two princesses and the two princes could speak glowingly about their granny I don't see why Zara & Peter couldn't at least acknowledge what a wonderful granny they've got.
Maybe they're arrogant like their mother.

Re: Prince Harry on Our Queen at Ninety.
I don't read newspapers. I have seen Princess Anne in interviews though in the days when I watched television and she came across as alright. The fact that she guested on 'A Question Of Sport' and joined in with the banter is another point in her favour. She admitted to Terry Wogan that had she not been born royal she would have been a lorry driver.28-03-2016, 04:39 PM
