“I still cry when I see her, because she makes me miss The Queen so much💔💔💔,” they shared sombrely.
Another fan also reflected upon how their own perception of the royal has changed recently, writing, “Princess Anne has always had my great respect. But in the past nearly 2 months, my respect has turned into awe. Such a dedicated, strong person carrying on her family’s traditions and legacy. And not to be lost, congratulations to all who were honored today.”
Following the Queen’s death and the end of the royal mourning period, Princess Anne has been observed stepping up to support King Charles and her schedule has remained as busy as ever.
Princess Anne has undertaken many visits both in the UK and abroad and had returned from a four-day tour of Uganda just a few days before the recent investiture ceremony in London. It's clear that the Princess Royal's hard-working nature has struck a chord with fans and certainly reminds one of them of Britain's longest-reigning monarch as the world continues to feel Queen Elizabeth's loss.
