Princess Anne Reduced King Charles To Tears After ‘Outrageous Conversation sparked Controversy’
King Charles has reportedly been moved to tears by Princess Anne’s unwavering support, professionally and personally. Following Anne’s decision against retirement, a royal insider claimed that the siblings shared a heartfelt discussion about her commitment and loyalty.
The anonymous source said that the King “can’t bear the thought” of Anne, 74, feeling compelled to keep working particularly amid his recent health woes. In February 2024, it was announced that the 76-year-old monarch had cancer, and after three months, he resumed his duties while ongoing treatment.
In private, he is simply overjoyed that she’ll be there with him until the end,” the aide confided to Woman’s Day Magazine. “The conversation they had about that was unusually emotional for Charles and he did break down in tears over her lifelong loyalty to him.
In response, Princess Anne, known for her no-nonsense approach, reportedly told him: “Dry your tears, buck up and get on with the job!”. The Princess Royal, often regarded as the hardest working member of the family, is reportedly also seen as Charles’ “most reliable confidante”
She’s more than just a sister to him, she’s someone he’s always been able to lean on and frankly, he simply, can’t rule without her by her side,” the source added. Recently sharing her stance on retiring, the Princess Royal told Press Association: “I don’t think there’s a retirement program on this particular life.
“It really isn’t written in, no. It isn’t really an option, no, I don’t think so.” Following these comments, the aide remarked: “She takes her role as his sovereign bodyguard very seriously and she plans on working right up to her death, just like her mum.”
Charles and Anne’s mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, was Britain’s longest-serving monarch, having ascended the throne on 6 February 1952 and serving until her death on 8 September 2022. Following her death, Charles stepped into her shoes and his coronation was held at Westminster Abbey come 6 May 2023.
Prior to ascending the throne, he issued a heartfelt declaration of continuing his mother’s legacy, saying in a statement: “As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.
And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.
