PRINCESS ANNE
As the Queen’s only daughter and with no realistic pathway to the throne, Her Majesty was keen to ensure Princess Anne, 72, was rewarded for her years of loyalty and hard work, both as a royal and as her beloved second-eldest child. Woman’s Day is told the Princess Royal has found herself in possession of some impressive new assets.
“While Balmoral Castle is technically passed down to King Charles, there are whispers that she made the proviso that Anne could use it whenever she wants,” says a source, who reveals the siblings have come to an agreement that she can use the home provided she doesn’t mind him opening it to the public more often.
Anne, an Olympic equestrienne, is also expected to take ownership of the Queen’s riding horses, including Emma the fell pony, which appeared on the Long Walk during her late owner’s funeral.
“She’s also doing her best to convince
Charles not to sell off their mother’s prized racehorses – she’s interested in them for herself,” says a source.
