PRINCESS ANNE

IN

Charles and his 72-year-old sister were spotted laughing together at the Highland Games just days before their mother’s death, and insiders say the Princess Royal was the first to pledge her devotion to him as her new king. “Charles and Anne will be forever united by being the last members of the family to see the Queen alive,” says a source. “Charles has always rated Anne. There is no denying her work ethic throughout her life and her no-nonsense steadfastness. He couldn’t do this without her.”
