After decades of speculation, whispers, and endless rumors within royal circles, King Charles III has finally addressed long-standing questions about his sister, Princess Anne. At the age of 76, the monarch has chosen to set the record straight, putting to rest stories that have followed the family for years.
In a rare and candid public statement, King Charles spoke warmly yet firmly about the Princess Royal, praising her lifelong dedication to duty while dismissing the speculation that has often clouded her reputation. “My sister Anne has been one of the most loyal, hardworking, and steadfast members of this family,” Charles declared.
“There have been countless stories written over the years—many of them untrue, many of them unfair. Today, I wish to speak openly about who Anne truly is.” For decades, Princess Anne has been recognized as the hardest-working royal, frequently topping the list of annual public engagements. Yet despite her dedication, gossip has persisted about her personal life, her fiery temperament, and even her relationship with the rest of the family.
Some tabloids painted her as distant; others suggested tension with her brothers. Charles, however, made it clear that none of these rumors reflected reality. “Anne has always been a source of strength for me,” the King revealed. “Through my most difficult times—whether in youth, in service, or in the years of transition into kingship—she has been constant. The bond we share as brother and sister is unbreakable, and I wish the public to understand that clearly.”
