Charles & Anne: Shock Fight For The Throne Explodes

The Princess Thinks She’d Do A Better Job Than Her Brother

After decades of resentment and jealousy, Prince Charles and Princess Anne’s bitter sibling rivalry has resulted in an explosive showdown behind palace walls just days after it was revealed that Charles will soon be crowned King.

According to royal insiders, Anne, who is fourteenth in the line of succession, was left thoroughly disappointed to learn that her brother could take over the throne in as little as two years’ time – a role she believes she could carry out with more grace and warmth.

“While Charles and Anne respect each other and get on well, they have never been close,” reveals our insider, adding the pair’s troubled relationship began from a young age and intensified in adulthood. “They were born two years apart and when young they were brought up a lot of the time by nannies because their parents were stationed in Malta, leaving them in England.

“Anne was a much stronger character, and still is today, and even bossed Charles around, though he was older. She was a bit of a tomboy while Charles was sensitive and slightly weak. She has always been a much more practical person and takes after her father, very much ‘getting on with it’.
