Princess Anne has emerged as a potential replacement for Prince Harry, sparking excitement among royal enthusiasts.
Following Megxit, the Duke of Sussex, currently residing in California with Meghan Markle, was stripped of his honorary military titles.
Now, reports suggest that the Princess Royal, aged 71, may assume all of his previous positions and roles within the royal family.
This speculation has led to an outpouring of praise for Queen Elizabeth’s daughter on social media.
The new monarch, King Charles, has been making significant changes within the monarchy, including acknowledging his younger sister’s place in the 21st century royal family.
Gareth Russell, a biographer and commentator, recently appeared as a guest on the Royaliest Podcast.
During the episode, he suggested that King Charles paid tribute to Princess Anne for her unwavering service to both the Queen and the Firm.
Princess Anne’s importance was further highlighted when she was chosen to accompany her mother’s coffin on its journey from Balmoral Castle to Edinburgh and then to London.
Despite being 16th in line to the throne, Princess Anne has never been closer to the crown.
Known for her no-nonsense attitude, consistent hairstyle, and strong work ethic, she has often remained under the radar during her siblings’ scandals and dramas.
However, as one of her brother’s most trusted advisors, Anne’s influence is expected to grow.
There are even rumors that the new king intends to change an 85-year-old law to remove his brother, Prince Andrew, his son, Prince Harry, and his niece, Princess Beatrice, from their positions as Counsellors of State.
This potential shake-up could result in Princess Anne being promoted to a crucial role, filling in for Charles if he is unable to fulfill his official duties.
Currently, Princess Anne is not a Counsellor of State due to the traditional rule that male heirs have priority over females in the line of succession.
Prince Edward is also too far down the order to be considered.
However, if the law were amended to specify that only working royals could hold the position, both siblings could potentially be elevated.
With the passing of their mother, Princess Anne is also expected to take on a more symbolic role within the royal family.
The question now arises: do you support Princess Anne as our new Counsellor of State?
