As Princess Anne turns 74, we take a look back at her landmark interview where she offered her view on how royal life has changed for the younger working royals
The Princess Royal, who is celebrating her 74th birthday today, remains a paragon of dedication to royal duties, often outpacing other family members in her work ethic and showing no signs of stopping.
In the documentary 'Anne: The Princess Royal at 70', which aired to commemorate her milestone birthday, she empathised with the newer generation of working royals, acknowledging the intensified scrutiny they face, exacerbated by the relentless pace of social media. Other notable figures also appeared in the documentary, paying tribute to the Princess' tireless commitment to her role. Lord Sebastian Coe recalled a particularly amusing incident, saying: "The Princess Royal was on the big committee and her contribution was seismic and it was always to the point, she doesn't always suffer fools gladly and she doesn't speak for the sake of speaking.
Princess Anne later teamed up with the Prince and Princess of Wales for a special episode of Mike Tindall's The Good, The Bad and The Rugby podcast.
