Princess Anne Didn't Agree With Queen Elizabeth's One Wish for Her Grandchildren—And it Left The Late Queen "Disappointed"

Queen Elizabeth smiling at baby Peter Phillips being held by Princess Anne .

Princess Anne's children Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall might have been born into the Royal Family, but their mother didn't necessarily see this as a benefit. Even though Queen Elizabeth was "anxious" to honor her grandkids with a special royal privilege, Princess Anne didn't see eye-to-eye with her mom.

The late Queen reportedly was "left disappointed" by the Princess Royal's choice not to give either of her children royal titles, per royal author Ingrid Seward (via the Daily Mail). While the monarch had to be "persuaded," she ended up stepping back and honoring her daughter's wishes.
