Princess Anne will reportedly follow in her late mother's footsteps and carry out royal duties "until a very old age", a former royal butler has said.
Former Butler's Insight
Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles between 2004 and 2011, spent significant time with the royals. Although he did not work directly for Anne, he observed her hard-working nature.
Often referred to as the hardest-working royal, The Princess Royal is known to impress many people she meets. Now 75, Anne shows no signs of stepping down and has seemingly increased her royal duties in recent years to support her brother, King Charles.
Anne's Work Ethic
Speaking to OLBG, Harrold said: "I don't really see any sign of Princess Anne slowing down her royal duties; she is a workaholic. If you look over the past couple of years, she hasn't stopped."
He continued: "Instead, she seems to be stepping up for her brother and taking on more responsibilities while he focuses on other things. She has always been very detail-oriented, like her mother, Queen Elizabeth. I truly think she will continue working like her mother up until a very old age."
Anne's Own Words
When asked by PA once about whether she would ever retire, Anne said: "It isn't really an option. It really isn't written in, no. It isn't really an option, no, I don't think so." She then spoke about taking each day as it comes, showing a similar attitude to that of her late mother and her older brother.
