Princess Anne finally gave insight into the rising anti-monarchy sentiment ahead of King Charles III's coronation.
“I think the slim down [comment] was said in a day when there were a few more people around to make that seem like a justifiable comment,” she said lightheartedly, hinting toand the Duke and Duchess of Sussex no longer being active royals. “It doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing,” she continued.
As for what Anne thinks of the rise of anti-monarchy sentiments, she doesn’t seem too concerned. “We don’t, in many respects, need to deal with it,” she said. “It is the monarch that is the key to this and the constitution that underpins the monarchy.” “We, as a family, see ourselves there to support that role,” she continued. “What we do, we hope, contributes to the monarchy in the way which it can convey continuity, of not just interest but of service, of understanding, the way that people of communities want to live their lives.”As for the conversation about the royal family’s relevance as an institution, Anne had a stronger opinion on the matter.
As for what to expect from Saturday’s coronation, Anne revealed she hasn’t been asking “too many questions.” “It’ll be such a different scenario,” she said, comparing it to her mother’s grand occasion back in 1953. “There is so much in that service which you really have to do, I mean that is fundamentally important. It is the meaning of the coronation in every way, it’s not just a big ceremony.
