She deserves it! King Charles gives Princess Anne special powers! Royal Family
The new monarch gave his younger sister her "rightful place in the 21st-century monarchy" as he ignored traditional royal rules.
King Charles III led the procession of royals into Westminster Abbey on Monday for Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral. The new monarch walked alongside his wife and consort, Queen Camilla, as they followed the Queen's coffin into the London church. Following them was Princess Anne, the late monarch's only daughter, and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence. Both Charles and Anne were by their mother's side when she died at Balmoral Castle on September 8. The Princess Royal then accompanied the coffin on its journey from Scotland to London.
In a tribute to her mother, Anne wrote: "I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest mother’s life. It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys. Witnessing the love and respect shown by so many on these journeys has been both humbling and uplifting."
The royal is known to have shared a close relationship with her mother and played one of the most prominent roles in the events to mourn her death.
A royal historian has since claimed Charles recognised his sister's service to the late Queen and paid tribute to it in the funeral service.
Gareth Russell, a biographer and commentator, was a guest on this week's episode of the Royally Us podcast. He claimed: "King Charles seems to have paid tribute to his sister Princess Anne following her decades of unwavering service to the Queen and the Firm.
"The King’s major concern has been to give a place of honour to his sister and for the older roles to be relaxed."
Mr Russell added: "Giving Princess Anne her rightful place in the 21st century in monarchy [shows that] she really is her brother’s confidant.
"She is hugely admired in Britain for her charitable work, and we’ve seen that she is someone who’s dealing with great heartbreak at her mother’s passing."
The historian went on to suggest that Charles was doing away with archaic royal rules that place male royals higher in the pecking order than female royals. Despite being the Queen's second child, Anne falls behind her two younger brothers and their children in the line of succession.
Mr Russell said Anne's seat was an effort "to stop granting precedence and favour to male members of the family over their sisters," adding, "we saw for the first time, a female member of the Royal Family marching behind the coffin."
As well as accompanying her mother on her final journey, Anne made history as the first woman to have ever performed the rare ritual.
On the evening of September 12, the Vigil of the Princes took place at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh. The ritual involves members of the Royal Family standing guard around their relative’s casket as they lie in state.
Traditionally, only male members of the family stand guard, but Anne became the first woman to ever take part, standing alongside her brothers – Charles, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. The siblings were accompanied by the Royal Company of Archers who were guarding the Queen’s casket around the clock.
