As the royal family endeavors to manage these difficult circumstances, Princess Anne has stepped forward, showcasing her unwavering dependability. A royal expert believes that she is precisely what the monarchy needs to weather these uncertain times. Currently, two prominent members of the royal family are undergoing cancer treatment, leading former Royal Butler Paul Burl to assert that the family cannot continue at the same pace as before. However, Burl contends that Princess Anne's emergence is precisely what the royal family requires to navigate through this ordeal, particularly given her inheritance of Prince Philip's strong work ethic.
"I think the only person that can save the monarchy is Princess Anne. William is too tied up with his family; he likes to be very hands-on, which he inherited from Princess Diana," Burl stated. "Princess Anne will be reliable. She's even stepping in for William and the King. She's a workhorse, stoic, and reliable. She's everything the royal family needs, and she's her father's daughter. His work ethic was the same—he never veered away from anything and always tackled things head-on."
The pressure and pain that William has been silently shouldering are undeniable, making it fortunate that he still has Anne and several other royals to help him navigate these treacherous waters. Burl also praised Princess Anne's ability to handle any royal crisis, while acknowledging the supportive role of the Duke and Duchess of VRA. "Princess Anne may rely on the Duke and Duchess of VRA, who are very responsible too, but everyone knows Princess Anne. She's always been there. She can hold the fort in any crisis. So, for the time being, her workload is increasing, which she doesn't mind; she just gets on with it," Burl remarked.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still hopeful of returning as working royals, but on their own terms. The Sussexes have reportedly discussed the possibility of resuming royal duties, particularly as both King Charles and Princess Katherine face their respective battles with cancer. However, Princess Anne remains resolute in not allowing them to come back to the UK. Royal expert Sarah Vine believes that having the Princess Royal deal with Harry and Meghan is the answer to all the royal family's problems. "I think the thing about William and Catherine is that they've been going through lots with the nightmares with the Sussexes," Vine explained. She further added, "I think that they should wheel out Princess Anne. I think she's the answer to all the royal family's problems. I think we should send Princess Anne to deal with Harry and Meghan. If you got a call from Princess Anne, you'd sit up jolly straight, and she'd say, 'I'm not cross with you, Harry; I'm just very disappointed.'"
In these trying times, the royal family finds solace in the steadfastness of Princess Anne, who continues to exemplify dedication and reliability. Her presence serves as a guiding light during an extraordinary year filled with challenges and uncertainties.
