“My mother was the Queen for a very long time. And although you kind of know that this might happen, you don’t really think about it very much — not least of all because the monarchy is about continuity,” Princess Anne said.
There have been rumors that King Charles would “slim down” the monarchy in the near future.
“Well, I think the ‘slimmed down’ was said in a day when there were a few more people around,” Princess Anne said. “It doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I would say. I’m not quite sure what else we can do.”
She also acknowledged that people are having many conversations about whether or not the monarchy is relevant today.
“I think it’s perfectly true that it is a moment when you need to have that discussion, but I would just underline that the monarchy provides with the constitution a degree of long-term stability that is actually quite hard to come by any other way,” Princess Anne said.
