THE Princess Royal today insisted that becoming King “won’t change” her brother.
In a remarkably candid interview, Princess Anne spoke out just days before Charles will be crowned at Westminster Abbey. Talking to CBC in Canada, Anne, 72, said the King was “committed” to public service and that would “remain true” after the coronation. Charles, 74, spent more than 70 years as heir apparent, longer than anyone else in history.
Throughout his wait he has spoken out on subjects that he felt were important to the British public, such as climate change and architecture.
In the interview at St James’s Palace, Anne said: “You know what you’re getting because he’s been practising for a bit, and I don’t think he’ll change. You know, he is committed to his own level of service, and that will remain true.”
Discussing the future role of the rest of the family, the princess said the monarch was the “key” figure and that “we see ourselves as there to support that role”.
“What we do, we hope, contributes to the monarchy in the way it can convey continuity, of service, of understanding,” she added.
