In a shocking turn of events, King Charles has made an unprecedented and controversial decision that has sent shockwaves through the royal family regarding his sister, the Princess Royal, Princess Anne. Reports suggest that the monarch has begun preparing for posthumous arrangements after making the difficult decision to stop his regular cancer treatments.

Princess Anne has long carved out a distinct role within the royal family, though often overshadowed by her more glamorous relatives. Her tireless work behind the scenes has been undeniable. Now, it seems she is stepping into the spotlight like never before.

As per reports, the Princess Royal has reportedly requested her brother, King Charles, to make her daughter, Zara Tindle, a princess in his life. The hardworking royal, who has remained steadfast with the firm since her birth, wants to make sure her daughter has a royal title.

Almost 50 years ago, Princess Anne reportedly had the opportunity to give her two children royal titles and rejected it. But now, she’s had a big change of heart. The 74-year-old royal allegedly fears Zara and Peter may feel neglected if they were not given royal titles amid fears about the king’s health following his cancer diagnosis and Kate’s ongoing recovery process. Anne wants her kids with royal titles before it’s too late.

As the heir to the throne, Prince William is also expected to continue his dad’s and late grandmother’s legacy when he ascends to the throne for the first time. All of them, especially Anne, started to wonder if it was a mistake to keep them duty-free. Having Zara and Peter on the roster would have been an extraordinary help this past year.

It’s fair to say they’ve always felt somewhat guilty watching their mom work harder than any of the royals while they’ve been able to pursue their own interests. But the king’s diagnosis was a call of duty even for them. There’s no doubt Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie, Prince William, and Queen Camilla have stepped up, but Anne can see how Zara and especially her husband Mike being available will make a huge difference.

The insider went on explaining the Prince and Princess of Wales’s possible reaction to it, saying she also knows Catherine and William would absolutely support the decision. King Charles III’s niece, Zara, reportedly wants to help support the Waleses, with whom they are incredibly close. The source explained it’s Anne’s duty to ensure the king’s needs are met, and she does worry about the pressure Charles has put himself under this year.

Princess Anne’s journey to this moment has been extraordinary. Born on August 15th, 1950, she has always forged her own path, from her days as a competitive equestrian to her extensive charitable work. Known as the hardest-working royal, Anne completes hundreds of engagements each year and has earned immense respect for her dedication to causes like sports and children’s welfare.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Prince Andrew has been dealt a fresh blow after he wasn’t invited to an event held by Princess Anne last week. The snub comes just weeks after Andrew decided not to spend Christmas at the Sandringham estate with the royals. The Duke of York is believed to have made the decision after his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy came to light.

The 64-year-old is said to have been excluded from a Windsor Castle dinner honoring his former school, despite living just miles away on the royal estate. The event reportedly celebrated Gordonstoun School, an educational establishment where he was once a pupil. As the warden of the prestigious Scottish institution, Anne is known to have hosted the event.

The school was also previously attended by the late Prince Philip, King Charles, and Prince Edward. A royal source told that Andrew, who is no longer a working royal after stepping down from duties in 2019, was not present at the exclusive gathering. The school’s spokesperson said in her role as warden for Gordonstoun, Her Royal Highness held an intimate evening dinner attended by a small number of guests. Although Anne did not attend the school herself, her children, Zara Tindle and Peter Phillips, attended Gordonstoun.

A friend of Andrew told the publication, “I’m sure the Duke would have loved to have attended the dinner if he had been invited.” The Duke was previously pictured, aged 13, on his first day at Gordonstoun School in a black-and-white picture. Andrew is seen standing alongside his father.
