You lost me and just about every other woman with your opening sentences.
Princess Anne does put her feet wrong ( she is the only royal with a criminal record ) she’s arrogant rude and insensitive but she’s gutsy a great rider and has far more backbone than her brothers .
If anything she Is her fathers daughter.
The only issue with her being 17 is that she would be considered as a minor in the US (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) and thus, if true (with a big if!!), he was breaking the law in the host country. This is the only salient point IMHO.

OK.
The federal law establishes the age of 12 as the minimum age of consent, while the age at which there are no restrictions for consensual sexual activities is 18 (sex with someone 12-18 is not illegal per se, but can still be open to prosecution under certain circumstances).
(quoted from wiki)
One can only assume that she had legally consented but is now trying to suggest that restrictions should have been applied
Some 15/16 year olds have a physical age of 16, but, a mental age of 30+, and know how to work the system, it's tricky once the numbers are disregarded.
