Princess Anne, known for her no-nonsense attitude and dedication to her duties, has an ‘annoying’ habit according to her children.
This was revealed in a documentary made to celebrate her 70th birthday in 2020.
Princess Anne’s ‘Most Annoying’ Habit
As Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter, Princess Anne has supported many important causes like Save The Children, helping those with disabilities, and supporting carers.
She also raised her two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, to understand that they would need to work in the future, despite their royal background.
In an interview for her 70th birthday, Peter and Zara talked about their mother.
They joked about being too afraid to ask her to slow down and mentioned the one trait she has that they find “annoying.”
Sitting next to each other, Zara, who turned 43 on Wednesday, May 15, said: “She’s like a sponge, it’s unbelievable, the information that’s stored in her brain. It’s incredible. Quite annoying, as well.” Peter agreed, saying: “It is quite annoying, yes.”
They also talked about how their own children enjoy spending time with Princess Anne.
Peter has two daughters, Savannah and Isla, with his ex-wife Autumn Phillips. Zara has three children, Mia, Lena, and Lucas with her husband Mike Tindall.
Peter said, “She loves seeing them ride, she loves having them around for Sunday lunches, doing all the sorts of stuff we used to do as kids. She now takes them to do these sorts of things.” Zara added, “We quite like leaving them on Sundays. We’ll say ‘We’ll pick them up later, bye’.”
Zara has also shared her thoughts on not having an official title like some of her cousins.
“I’m very lucky that both my parents decided to not use the title and we grew up and did all the things that gave us the opportunity to do,” she said.
